It appears to me that there is a bit of a double standard going on here. The consensus seems to feel that violent collisions on the horizontal are perfectly kosher. But for some reason, the carefully designed and implemented lifting of a robot is taboo. Bogus!

Like I said earlier, all this hostility seems to be the product of fear and envy. Simply putting your robot on the field presents a risk to the other teams' bots. Virtually every aspect of the game puts robots at risk. We are expected to treat each other with respect and professionalism, but that doesn't mean we have to say,

"Pardon me. Were you trying to put those balls in this goal? Oh here, let me help you. Good show! I'll go back to my corner and lose now. Ta-ta."

A robot lifting strategy is not ungracious. It's powerful. Next I suppose we'll hear that 3-goal grabber / lifter / dragger bots are ungracious.
