Before we make any enemies, I'd like some opinion on the matter. It seems to be right on the line of G.P., or maybe stepping over. It really only matters what side of the field you look at it from.
In my mind, defense is a perfectly legitimate strategy. It's part of the game, and teams who make autonomous modes to stack should account for teams trying to get in their way. It's going to happen. So, no, I don't see it as a "nasty trick".
