What I was mad about was a couple robots I saw that were just ramming other bots really hard and repeatedly while they were trying to stack. One or two times the rammer bots even succeeded in either shutting off the victim robot, or ramming it into a corner and making it get caught in a goal. It is one thing to get in the way and push, but another to ram with malicious intent. I wasnt talking about whacking with arms, which would be more likely to hurt the arm than the other bot anyway.
