It's a shady strategy overall.
I understand it is legal per the rules now, I'm just venting.

I think one difference is that high speed ramming can cause damage to the other robots, while impeding doesn't (unless the other robot is going to fast and cannot stop). I actually like the strategy of having a defensive autonomous. I don't think they are attempting to draw ramming penalties, because that would be wrong.
