Re: Would you pick a yellow-carded team for playoffs?

I am a HUGE fan of gracious professionalism. I always brag to my friends here (lacking a first team but trying to start one... next year...) that first is like a football match.... only rather than people beating each other up they’re sharing ideas and making friends.... but on the field.... its competitive (often times I may add that its robots beating each other up, then backtrack and say but its really bad to do that, you should in no way injure someone else’s robot because that’s.... mean ... for lack of a better word, and not gracious professional… but that’s intentional damage… My worry is that some matches may loose their full potential excitement because of the yellow card rule. The thought that came to mind is what exactly is considered "aggressive behavior"? Have seen some incredibly exciting matches where there will be an incredibly aggressive defense... how many robots last year fell over due to that ramp thing.... and it added excitement. Don’t get me wrong though I know quite well FIRST IS NOT BATTLE BOTS... ITS COOLER!!!! But as a soon to be rookie team, will pushing harshly… playing a powerhouse defense get you a yellow card, what if they get pushed into a corner and you pin them for a bit (not the whole game.) or in pushing you get pinned somehow… though it’s a bit harder to do that in this challenge than last year… I saw many a bot get stuck in that 1-point goal corner. I don’t like too much aggression like purposefully pushing down a robot…. But would an accidentally causing the robot to fall turn into “aggressive defense” … course…. What is “accidental” will exciting push matches be lost… and what will rookie teams that can only build a pusher do? Just ideas … and I do like the rule…
