John - I agree entirely, as I see it defending yourselves can be accomplished 2 ways. 1) fight back or 2) take evasive action - this will be tough to do if you are locked into a corner.
Greg - designing the robots to eliminate handle holds is always the goal - but not always 100% possible. Even when you think you did a great job, someone can accidently find that one $@#$@#$@#$@#$@# in you armor. Like I said before - this is a bad rule and should be changed for the sake of gracious professionalism and FIRST.
My last comment on this thread is this - we also are taking extreme measures in design, and materials on this years robot solely to address this one issue. It really takes away from solving the problem of "How to play this game" - and thats too bad, because we also have to address this issue with the students and even discussing strategy leads to a disproportionate aggressive stance - I like offense - scoring is always more fun to watch than a 2 minute tug of war. Good luck to all - and keep your grab handles covered!
