[Official 2007 Game Design] Autonomy And Other Technology Discussions

I never saw a ramming penalty called once during any autonomous portion I saw of a match, but I also never saw any matches where I thought robots were moving fast enough to warrant it. As for a speed limit, I think that should only apply if you hit someone at that speed; there is no harm in charging at an opponent 20 ft/s if you slow down to 3 ft/s before you hit them.
