Re: Tipping opponents robots

Response from the GDC:

Quote:
We cannot address hypothetical tactical game situations. Academically speaking, we can provide the following clarification per Rules <G36> and <G37>:

1. Tipping as a result of incidental contact between two ROBOT is not a violation.
2. Tipping as a result of BUMPER to BUMPER interactions is not a violation.
3. Tipping as a result of aggressive ROBOT behavior will be left to the discretion of the Referees on site.
So, like many said earlier, I would be interested in seeing how the definition of "aggressive ROBOT behavior" evolve over the weeks. We are going to San Diego in week 1, so that will be very interesting.

Certainly ramming at full speed up the bump at the belly of the opponent can be defined as aggressive. But where is the line?
