This is a great point. With the bumper rules we have now, robot to robot contact is measured objectively. This is great because it takes a lot of the refereeing out of the game that we had in the past with regards to pinning, ramming, and entanglement.

The games in the past that involved reaching and extending were awesome (2000, 2002, 2004) and I hope the GDC considers an environment close to that for 2010.
