It is a fine line between "agressive play" and "overly agressive play" and tough to call. This is a reall challenge for the referees.

We got hit so hard in one match that the schock stopped the RC and we were disabled for about the last minute. No wires pulled, not lost connections - the RC just stopped. That is a brutal hit. IFI has only seen it happen 2 or 3 times.

We were havily defended, which is good because it means we were a threat for scoring and that is a part of the game. I am all for defense, pushing and shoving and blocking, but the hard hits from across the field cross the line.

Luckily, we survived the hits, but i know some other teams that were basically taken out of the competition after being crashed into by totally defensive robots and that is a bad way to have to end a season.
