Eugene,
See now that doesn't sound so bad to me... ...well until the tipping it bit. But the first part.
Suppose there is a defender harassing your prize scoring robot in the near zone. It seems to me that it is a FAS to push them across the field and even a bit onto the bump, holding them for a bit (until the pinning rules kick in) if necessary to defend my partner.
But of course, if we intend to tip them in the end, I suppose we've crossed the line even if we don't actually manage to accomplish it.
Thoughts?
