Yeah, strategies targeted at tipping will likely get you DQ'ed. We were upset with several teams last year who kept intentionally ramming us in order to tip us (the way our arm was designed made it easy when it was extended) and managed to tip us out of one whole match.
I've been a bit bothered by some of the "defensive" ideas I've been hearing from teams this year. Mainly because it seems there are still quite a few teams out there who consider *potentially* damaging an opposing robot ok for defense.
I've heard talk of other teams setting up their drive system to spin at a high speed (aka Spinbot) to sit in front of the corner goals and spin rapidly such that noone will try to move them for risk of getting damaged.
Please guys, just treat the other alliance bots as if they were you just trying to win for the other alliance. Would you want to whack yourself spinning at a high speed?
You can still be a nusance just by "being in the way". But I'm pretty sure that if a ref saw you give a nudge before a bot tipped, there'd at least be a penalty on the way, if not a DQ.
