fair enough, but I think it somewhat hypocritical when they put rules in like this and then show in the animation robots banging it up.....quite frankly just like all the other similar rules i think this one will go the way of the dodo simply because refs don't like handing out DQs (i can understand why)
basically i see this being useful only if the refs stay strict on this but i have seen sooo many rules go lax i will be extremely surprised if we don't have a crash em up derby (2003) on our hands.....
[edit]i have seen rules in the past against tipping, but then seen teams with ramps that would extend out in front of them/behind them and they would blatantly tip without penalty, specifically in 2002 and 2003 i can remember distinctly a few robots doing this...so the possible inaction makes me nervous[/edit]
