FIRST has provided a clear rule book of their own. Using kinetic energy (impulse) is allowed to move an opponents robot.
This has been in the rules since the kickoff meeting. If you want to be able to score during aggressive play, you will need a tracking system that can quickly acquire the goal, lock onto it, tell your driver when to fire, or a system that wont fire if target lock has been lost.
Standing at the freethrow line people can shoot baskets all day long - what is the record now, a couple thousand baskets in a row?
In many ways this game is like football: if the quarterback has the ball and is about to throw it, he's fair game to be 'rammed' to the ground.

• Rule <R35> in Section 5.3.4 establishes ROBOT BUMPER ZONEs. Any contact within this zone is generally acceptable, with the exception of high speed long distance ramming.
