Re: 'Accidently' ripping other robots apart

Another rumor from contacts is that some people are actually building robots to mainly dystroy other robots 'accidently' with things like presurized shafts.

And one more thing....
in last year's game, there were four robots working together, and the year before it was two. SOme say that this year it's gonna be two on two. Anybody hear anything like that?
If its noticeable like that, like a corner thats a bit too sharp, your team will be disqualified from the match and all matches thereafter until you fix the problem.

What is allowed are shoving matches, and pinning, but no intentional damage of robots (its the refs call on the intentional bit, and their calls are final--if you say something they just keep walking).

Two years ago, it was also two on two.

That doesn't mean robots don't get damaged.
