Re: Rules that are [not] getting called at Regionals, the +s and -s

As for autonomous ramming, the Q&A clearly stated that is the same as operated ramming. So therefore, it is once again referees discretion on what is "excessive". Also note that, autonomous defensive programs do NOT have to "ram". A "clip" to the corner of their bot to rotate them often works (provided they are dead reckoning) or blocking the bot (especially when it's attempting to score in the corner goal) by simply getting in front of it also often work. On the other hand, these strategies are often harder to set up during autonomous as you have a smaller margin of error (trying to hit the corner 6" of a bot is alot harder than trying to hit their full 38" side).
