Craig,

I agree that sometimes "intention" rules can lead to subjective and inconsistent rulings that are also unpopular. However, they are often used in sports like soccer and football for flagrant or unsportmanlike actions, carrying a much higher penalty for the same action. I personally didn't see a robot "breaking the plane" in an attempt to get a ball. Every case appeared to be accidental. If it had been a 2 point penalty, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of many games.
