Right. In the St. Louis regional last week, there were robots that tipped over easily. It wasn't unfair to take advantage of that, as the goal of the game is to win. And I think everyone knows that there's a fine line between defensive maneuvers and just ramming the heck out of another robot. There are rules against, for example, intentionally ripping out somebody's battery. Defense is just part of the game, but people should remember to be civil.
