I like aggresive physical robot interaction as well. It does make for a more interesting spectator experience, especially for people who just come in off the street. The only thing is . . . once the tipping rules are set in the rules book they should be adhered too at every event. To change the rules or adjust the refereeing biases the outcome of the competition. For example, if tipping were not allowed, the robots would not be designed to tip other robots, some might have arms, others might not. Then if tipping was subsequently allowed, robots with arms would be favored since they could more easily tip other robots.
