Re: Rules that I think should be changed.

Just to throw a quick word out there about playing defense on a tower hanging in the far zone; it is dangerous. Your robot is about 45 feet away, with (two) towers in the way, and all the chaos that exists on a Breakaway field. Unless you are very confident of your position on the field, it's best to simply back away when you hear the 20 second "bell." About midway through the Peachtree regional, we "intentionally" hit another team that was against the tower, deploying a ramp. I was driving, and I've continually replayed what happened; I still don't remember even touching them, but it just goes to show, it's best to be careful!
