Re: VCU NASA Regional

I think, defense is not unGP. Defense is just the opposite of offence; if we were not allowed to defend, in a way we are being told to play the game a certain way, with a certain strategy which in myopinion is not the goal. Low-impact push and shoves are part of the game, they provide the challenge that makes these matches much more interesting. If there should be no contact between opposing robot than there is no point of going head to head against other teams. However, ramming into teams at full speed or trying to wedge a team to make them topple intentionally will be something that i dont expect from a FIRST team.
