I agree, motor limit or not, high speed ramming would be in issue in this game. We have bumpers for a reason, hard clean hits between two robots that can take it is very entertaining and have been a part of most FRC competitions over the past two decades. Finding game designs that limit destructive actions is hard but should be part of every game design.
