I don't recall the high speed ramming rule NOT applying during the autonomous period - did I miss that?

In my opinion, the argument will rage on because there are as many opinions as there are teams when it comes to defining ramming - and don't expect that the ref's even see this the same way amongst themselves.

So, just ask for as much clarity regarding all aspects of this AT THE DRVERS MEETING, and pay attention to WHAT GETS CALLED.

I, for one dislike robots pushing on each other, but that's probably because I have to fix the thing after it gets broken.

So, there will always be folks that are unhappy with the interpretation and execution of calling or not calling this difficult to measure infraction - but as long as it is being called consistantly AND that every team was clearly communicated with as to what is and what isn't going to be called - that is all we can ask for.
