Forget about trying to win a pushing match, just get the goals where you need them and open up on the ground making it impossible to move the goals without having the goal get over my robot. Any team that tries to move the goals gets DQ.

This seems to be a ruling that is not quite ready for prime time...

Am I missing something?

Joe J.
My recollection of the announcement this morning was that the DQ would only occur if, in pushing a goal over a robot's extended arm, damage occurred to the goal as a direct result of pushing it over the mechanism. Now, based on what comes to mind right now, damage to a robot would result before damage to a goal in just about any "push over" case, unless the robot was specifically designed to damage a goal if it was pushed over. In this case, I have a feeling the mechanism would be disallowed under the "intentional damage" rule.
