Kamikaze Robot Strategy...

I think one way to stop a 3 goal bot is to push the center goal into him and just sit there. If you are fast enough you can get the goal into your scoring zone first.
He is only going to be able to latch onto one goal now (left or right). Your alliance partner can hopefully grab the other goal.
A 3 goal bot can only get the three goals if they are in a line. Scatter one or two and he is left helpless. I hope we don't get such bot on our alliance.

I think this strategy will be employed alot, and I expect it to meet much less resistance with the referees.

FIRST has stated that running straight at a robot across the field at full speed would be considered intent to damage, and I don't see how you could greet a GLD on the GLD's side of the field before they get to the goals if you're not running straight at them at full speed.
