I have not seen many G18-1's being assessed, possibly as part as a product of the district system. Playing with the same teams over and over (although we hadn't seen 2474 or 2054 yet, we had played at a competition with 67, 217, 469, and 3539 already this season once) and the relationships that are created with that create an friendly, respectful atmosphere, I find.
Something that came up in discussions about the situation I described in the original post was that any contact between robots attempting to dislodge a defender from their position would NOT be in violation of rule 18-1 - My interpretation of 18-1 is, for example: Given a blue robot at/near the blue pyramid, a red robot slams into the blue robot and shoves blue-bot across the field INTO the Red Pyramid. This is quite obviously intentional and deserving of a technical foul.

I think that Rule 18-1 has been (in Michigan) considered violated only in such glaringly obvious cases such as this - I don't believe I've ever seen it called at either of the events I volunteered at (one of which where I was a referee) or at the third and fourth where I was merely a spectator. It seems to me to be a more "Spirit of the Game" rule rather than a rule prohibiting incidental/unintentional contact that might occur during the fast, brief collisions incurred during an intense FRC match.
