As a team that plans on playing a lot of effective defense, I'm just a bit offended at the implied anti-social tendencies of my teammates and myself solely because we think pushing a robot aside to get to a ball is a good idea in a game full of mecanum and other lower-traction drives. "Physical" interaction has been a part of FRC for every year that isn't 2001, and I don't want my team being called funny names just because we interact with our opponents to help an alliance succeed. (Not very anti-social to me...)

With Update 14, I hope teams remember that there are other ways to play defense rather than pure immobilization!
