Re: Rosie stuffs Thrust

I would agree that the intent was to force 1501 into the goal, but I would disagree that that they intended for them to stuck in the goal. There was no way for Rosie to know whether Thrust would have the ability to remove itself from the goal or not. I do not think I would have had my drive team do something similar, but when playing such a high caliber scoring team (like we did at BMR) you try to find anyway to slow their scoring (we just parked in front of the tower keeping them from their near zone). The tipping and then the contact afterwards was aggressive and not within the spirits of the game/rules/FIRST in my opinion, but it happens and I've seen worse.

In short, the tipping and following contact deserves the red card. The pushing into the goal, a grey area.
