This the definition of "incidental" the refs are using, right? So this type of contact is not penalized, correct?

Intentional ramming in auto is now illegal, and I firmly back this rule and this was a very good one.

As recently as this Q&A "Robot strategies intended to disrupt the aim of an opposing robot are acceptable and to be expected as long as they are not excessive." Where in the rules has this changed? The refs are not banning all disruptive autonomous strategies despite the rules and the Q&A are they?

I'm really confused .

The refs are making new rules as the game goes on. And they must be using the elastic clause on the word excessive, to mean ramming.

You're kidding right?

Just because you don't like how the rules will be called doesn't mean that they haven't existed for the last 4 months.

I 100 percent agree with that, as stated in my earlier post.
