If you are trying to damage other peoples robots on purpose then you might want to re watch the kickoff movie. Remember gracious professionalism and what you can do sometimes come in conflict but gracious professionalism should always win. I really hope you don't go to regionals with the intent of damaging other robots.

We do not try to damage other robots. this is a full contact sport this year. that is why you can use a bumper. that is why FIRST tells everybody to put them on. This will stop the hard blow from a robot. but you have to remember we are playing defence and defence is pushing other robots
so just make sure your robots can be pushed and it will not you break anything.
If you make a robot so just a good push will break you then you have made your robot wrong. That is why the rule of pushing comes into play. If our robot pushes you and we are only pushing you at within 8" off the floor and you flip or something break that is not our fault this year. in the past it was a judge call. this year it is not.
So please do not think we play to damage other robots we do play by the rules
