I think its safe to say that ramming happens when a moving bot hits a bot that is standing still. If two bots are racing to the same field position and they collide, then who rammed into who?

Nobody!

Shooters do not own the spot in front of their center goal. Both teams have the right to try to be the first robot in that controlling field position. If they collide on the way, then neither team should be penalized.

Now if you have a shooter that stays in its starting position and shoots from there, and a bot flys across the field and slams into it, THAT is ramming.
