Knocking the ball out of the ring is allowed, but might be considered un-GP by some refs ... so be careful with that one. Also be careful playing "keep away" with the opponents ball.
Knocking the opponents ball back across a line so that the opponent would have to go clockwise is a viable strategy.
Knocking the opponents ball off of the overpass at the end of a match is viable.
Pinning the opponents ball against a wall may work.
There is a shortest distance around the track that can be used to force your opponents to drive further.
There will be a decent amount of NASCAR style "rubbing" as the teams jocky for position ... enough so that I feel the required bumpers rulings are a good idea. I can see "bumping" to pass getting testy as well as teams "bump" corners of robots and turn them into the wall.
All-in-all I see some fun "interaction" between the robots.
Oh, and all of the above we can (and for some we will) do.
