I think the idea of pushing and dragging robots is interesting, but my team doesn't plan on trying it.

(it adds an interesting dimension to game play, I'll say that!)

For one: Should your get into a pulling match, you run the risk of doing harm to either your robot or the other teams. This could range from that "Aw, the paint job's all messed up" to Insert-Profanities-Here. Should, by some coincidence, or irony from the Powers That Be, you get partnered up later with that same robot, you're in for fun. Especially if it's the profanities one!

For another: Right now, considering the strategy we're looking at, it's just a waste of time for us to grab or push another robot.

For other people, it may be a BIG part of their strategy. More power to them if they manage to drag bots around, unless they cause major damage. In which case, then, I'd have to consider it malicious.

On the whole defense thing. If another bot had hold of your bot, you can do anything in your power to break free, unless it's in a malicious manner (ie- repeatedly forwardly slamming the other robot to damage it severely and free yourself).

It's a judgement call thing.

Kat.
