While I'll agree that deliberately ramming the end wall at high speed is hardly something to encourage (although there are bumpers to help absorb the impact) high speed ramming is quite legal this year. As is pinning a robot to the boards, sitting in the middle of the playing field and spinning around with your trailer behind you like a big hammer and all sorts of fun and crazy stuff. As the head ref said at kickoff "we expect there will be very few penalties this year". That's because there are very few rules!

You may wish to go back and read the posts, where you will find several excellent explanations of the physics at play. You will find that your suggested explanation is somewhat incomplete. In the future, should you wish to join a discussion, please be respectful of those who have already posted by taking the time to at least glance at what they have written.
