Re: Knocking down opponents ringers

I dont believe there is a rule against it and we actually discussed this yesterday as a team. It could be a good strategy to just knock down the leaning tubes making it harder to pick up, which i believe is in the spirit of competition, but i also believe there will be some type of ruling about knocking multiple at once since you can not be in possesion of another alliances ringers and in possesion is defined as a robot touching the ringers even along the floor so if you do knock them down purposely I think a penalty will be called against you unless the ref sees it as being an accident.
