I like the above but would remove the word
Repeatedly.
The rule says that "Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of ROBOTS are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and are not allowed." It does not say that you can't push shove or defend. Basically they are saying NO ROBOT WARS. When a team is pushing on another and the opposition robot starts to tip, 1 do you push harder or 2 do you back off? This is the difference between intentional and not. Set Guidelines like above and it would be so much easier.
