ROFL. A solid defense is sometimes the best offence - if you can't do any better than the guy on the opposite alliance, but you can stop the other guy from scoring, it's perfectly valid to shut him down. Bumper-on-Bumper contact is very legal.

BTW, we have much respect for team 118, last year at Lone Star they were completely dominant in autonomous. However, being the best of the best does have its downside, you have a lot of people who analyze you very thoroughly looking for a [narrow opening] in the armor. When someone finds it, you should see it as reverence - someone has been thinking about you over the course of 2-3 days more than you've probably thought about yourself!
