I'm not sure where you thought you saw that rule. You might look again.

My team has come up with an idea but we are still starting our chaise [*sighs man we are way behind schedule] but we came up with a perfect design and the only problem is that the mechanism that we we taught of to put on top of the robot to pick up the track balls is slightly breakable. and i just wanted to know how nasty do these competitions get i mean like to the robot get really dinged up or do they like just some what mess up.

Basically i just wanted to know how nasty do the competitions get and will there bee a really good chance that my mechanism might break when i play the game? is there a good chance we might tip over? do teams play dirty? if so which ones?

Thank you for all the helps guys.
Well, if I can decipher your prose, I would suggest you avoid "slightly breakable" anything. Go for robustness! Look for some videos of previous years - The Blue Alliance site probably has some. There's lots of bumping and banging out there.
