John, we did build for robot on robot ramming. Or multiple robot on us ramming. The frame can take it no problem. It just makes for a really boring game due to the lack of other activities for teams to do if they aren't the most capable bot on the alliance. Ramming defense is easy whereas running an effective pick is dang near impossible. Coupled with the fact that very few teams during quals are willing to be relegated to that as they all want to show their stuff for picking but it's not practical to let a team that is 0 for 8 from the floor try to shoot. But then you have to deal with them telling you that you're "Not GP"
Scuse me, I'll go off and be a grumpy old man in the corner.

Off hand, the same thing to my opponent because if I have to deal with it so do they. Course, this makes for a boring game from an audience perspective. But that's not important... Oh wait, culture change is the entire point of FIRST. (In before I'm told to see the bigger picture)
