We'll be competing in week 1 as well, hopefully they'll be a bit understanding while we're all learning how to play the game...

After reading the GDC response I feel like I have a better understanding of this whole situation except for "Aggressive Robot Behavior". I'll probably have my Driver's ask the Head Ref about this during the Driver's Meeting before Qualifications just so that we can get a feel for how the refs will be making calls.

In my experiences as a Driver I found that What I considered to be non-aggressive contact usually is the exact opposite. Whoops.
