10 ball auto mode

[Wayne Doenges]

Let me throw my $0.02 into kitty.

Refer to this rule:
<G22> Intentional ROBOT - ROBOT Interaction - Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of ROBOTs are not in the spirit of the FIRST Robotics Competition and are not allowed.

I would be very careful about making an autonomous mad dash across the field with the sole purpose of stopping another robot from shooting. If you can get in front of them and stop their shots than I see no problem. But if you miscalculate and damage another bot you may be penalized.

FIRST also mentions long distance, high speed ramming. IMHO I would consider 15 feet long distance.

Also, if another team has a robust bot and can take a hard hit, they may change their autonomous to have your bot hit them in the hopes of you getting the penalty.
