I actually love that this year finally allows for rough and defensive play. More so than the last few seasons. I love it! Imagine this without bumpers, oh how awesome that would be.

05 still allowed defensive wedges. This led to a lot more flipped robots.

04's step saw a fair number of robots that would get shoved off.

03 was full on autonomous ramming on top of a ramp.

Bumpers? What are those?

This ain't rough guys. Our bot took a bit of a beating in Orlando but nothing like the damage robots used to take.
