I like the idea of this rule, it puts less focus on defense and hopefully will decrease the number of "robot battle scars." However, I'm afraid how referees are going to interpret "actions such as high-speed or repeated, aggressive ramming." It's a bit too subjective.
They have drivers meetings. If your drivers go to them & listen they will know about the rule changes. This has also gone out on the email blasts. The primary team contact gets them. Rather or not they actually them is the team's problem.

Referees are human. They will make mistakes. Occasionally the game's outcome will be effected by it. Get used to it. Before the last couple of rule updates, if a robot A ramming & destroying an appendage of robot B with structure their inside the bumper zone was legal. In fact robot B could have been penalized for robot As action. The updates are an improvement unless you want to play battle bots.

Sorry for the rant. Off to take my pills now.
