kidnapping IS allowed

Quite the contrary! They've been VERY clear from the beginning that kidnapping IS allowed, by grabbing, forklifting, etc. That's why teams are grumbling. On Jan 10, they wrote this:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FRCtech2002/message/82

To make it worse, to my knowledge they've yet to relax ANY of the "no damage rules" against other machines or the environment. They HAVE already stated if you hurt the ENVIRONMENT while trying to RESIST, YOU can be DQ'd for it! See:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FRCtech2002/message/348

Now THAT is reasonable, but I'm not sure it is right to totally protect your ASSAILANT from harm arising from self defensive actions!

BTW... I've posted this question to FRCtech2002 on Sunday, and it finally appeared today. However, while waiting, I'm still curious to get everyone's opinion on the matter.

How far does everyone FEEL you SHOULD be allowed to go (without penalty) if someone DOES have the audacity to seize you?
