"Gentle" being a relative term. Can a team be "gently aggressive"? I'd like to think so. Taking someone for a nice leisurely unintentional stroll across the field, pushing them on the corners to spin them around, or slowing down significantly before contacting other robots is far gentler than backing up 2+ robot lengths away and plowing full speed into the side of someone...repeatedly. Sadly, I see the latter style employed far too often.
This works for offense too - teams can certainly be "gently aggressive" as they wiggle and fight their way into scoring position against defensive pressure.
