Oh, okay. In that case, they still are allowed to play defense, but if you guys were winning by a lot, then it'd be more polite to give them a little chance.
Btw, for those teams out there who don't know this (I'm sure most of you guys do): ramming is not a good idea. You can hurt their robot, but you're more likely to hurt your own robot. It's best to just push.
