[moderated]: A Challenge: YOU Rewrite G25

Obviously, there has been some controversy lately about issues surrounding rule G25. Most of this has been needless arguing and flaming of other users. I have seen many ideas on how individuals would like to change this situation, but I have yet to see a solid proposal.

Here's G25 as is stands:
Quote:
Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of ROBOTS are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and are not allowed. However, Triple Play is a highly interactive contact game. Some tipping, entanglement, and damage may occur as a part of normal game play. If the tipping, entanglement, or damage occurs where it is not a part of normal game play, at the referee’s discretion,a 10-point penalty will be assessed, and the offending team/ROBOT may be disqualified from that match. Repeated offenses could result in a team/ROBOT being disqualified from the remainder of the Regional or Championship competition.
Examples of normal game play interaction include:
• Pushing low on another ROBOT.
• Blocking or pushing on a TETRA that is in possession of an opposing ROBOT.
• Establishing ROBOT position to block access to a GOAL by an opposing ROBOT.
• Using an arm or gripper to prevent an opposing ROBOT from placing a TETRA on a GOAL.
Examples of inappropriate robot interaction include:
• Pushing high on a robot and tipping it over.
• Using an arm or gripper to repeatedly strike an opposing ROBOT that is not in the process of
placing a TETRA on a GOAL.
• Placing any part of your ROBOT under an opposing ROBOT, and then lifting to flip it over.
• Using an arm and gripper to pull a ROBOT by grabbing electrical cables, hoses, etc. or disabling a
ROBOT by tearing out wires or hoses.
• Grasping or attaching to a TETRA that is in the possession of an opposing ROBOT, and using it to
pull over the opposing ROBOT.
• Ramming another ROBOT at high speed.
If you were given the chance by FIRST to rewrite and present this ruling in a well worded, concise, professional manner, what would you write? Remember, some of the main arguments have been that the rule as it stands leaves too much up to judgment by particular referees. Can you think of a way to clear up the wording so that calls may be made more consistently from event to event?

By no means am I saying that I don't agree with G25 as it stands, I am just looking for users who have talked down upon this to back up their previous arguments with a solid, professional proposal.

Please people, lets not have this turn into another flame war. Only post if you have something you feel is worthy of discussion. And when you decide that what you have written is worthwhile, please re-look and rethink it. You can never take enough precautions to prevent personal embarrassment. Just remember, thousands of people look at these forums and you are not only representing yourself, but your team.

Moderators: Please feel free to turn this thread into a moderated discussion if you feel it is needed.

Edit: I knew it was here somewhere, and I just found it. This thread is a spin off of this thread discussing agressive play ruling from last year.
