Lastly they have rules talking about fighting over a pool tube in a robots posession. If you cause damage or knock over a robot while fighting for a tube its considered aggressive play.

Don't try to bend the rules just to be more aggressive it doesn't help anyone in my opinion.
ok number 1 i have been asking all along if anyone can find a specific rule peventing us from removing pool tubes from the opponents robot. how can i go against the spirit of a rule if the rule doesnt exist in the first place"no pun intended". second we dont mean knocking over other robots with a pool tube. we mean like knocking the arm away from the rack and preventing the opponents from scoring. uyou know like blocking in footbnall or basketball, good defense is a good offense as EricH's sig says.
