Here is something else to consider. The robot you break this round may be your alliance partner a few rounds later. If you damage an opponent robot in such a way that it can't be easily fixed soon, if at all, how far do you think you will get playing the game alone. I was told that a few years back this was the rule. FIRST may allow a broken robot to be placed in it's scoring zone so you get at least 10 points for it. But what keeps it from being bot-knapped? Answer....NOTHING!
So keep this in the back of your mind when you go charging at, or grabbing, another bot.
