Btw, I just noticed your full name. You may be interested in this link: http://www.bookstore.mtu.edu/michtec...F PG74AB598AB The Watersmeet (the name of a very small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) Nimrods were mentioned on ESPN as having an "interesting" mascot name. They got so many requests for apparel they had to outsource it to the Michigan Tech bookstore to fulfill orders.
actually, the first -5 you get AFTER 5 seconds have gone by,
so lets do the math
at 35 seconds=-5
at 30 seconds=-10
at 25 seconds=-15
at 20 seconds=-20
at 15 seconds=-25
at 10 seconds=-30
at 05 seconds=-35
now assuming that no one is gonna wait the entire 40 seconds, and will probably head back at around 38, you might actually get a -35 instead of a -40, in any case -45 is NOT possible by this kind of penalty ALONE,

I didn't get the whole Nimrod thing,
in any case don't make fun of my name...Nimrod is the guy who ENGINEERED the BABYLON TOWERS! so HA! (how FIRST of me hehe)...

about the defensive strategy DJ proposed, I think it's great, really "out of the box" thinking, and I wouldn't have any problem doing it UNLESS it so happens to be that while pushing the other bot (for example if he tipped over), that bot's sensitive parts might be harmed, that could be VERY expensive to repair...

now here's a question, if that bot tipped, and when pushed, it's components tear-apart the carpet and or poof balls, who's fault is it? the pushed bot, or the bot which is doing the pusher?

if it's the pushed bot's fault, will it still get a penalty after pushing the ES buttom?
