It has nothing to do with GP or non-GP, it's just against the rules. It's no more graciously professional to avoid running into someone than it is to build a robot that starts within 28"x38"x60" - it's just the rules. If it were a different game, with different rules (as it has been in years past) then it would be perfectly acceptable to ram into someone at high speeds. It all depends on the context of the game.

That said, and back on topic, our autonomous can (at least) cap a goal with the born tetra and knock down the hanger.
