I'm rather dissappointed in that ruling also. I'm afraid that maybe my team's robot, despite it's good design and overall toughness, would be crippled by 'harmless' attempt to drag us away. maybe their gripper would grab some piece or electronics, or pneumatics and just tear it off? that can sometimes be time consuming to repair. even worse, I'm afraid we might have to re-machine some parts if they break (snap) due to the forces exerted on our robot by our assailants.

I don't like this ruling at all. I didn't like the lifting ruling, mainly because our drive motors are mounted on the underside of our robot.

I sure hope that grabbing teams are 'graciously proffessional' and not determined to damage my robot (maybe they built some grabber that just doesn't hurt anything?).
