Re: Look Back: Week 5

As I read the rules in the last few posts and what is allowed/not allowed, it ultimately comes down to what refs call. I will say again, that the best thing to do is talk to the refs on practice day, try and things out and see what's being called/not called as we all play "legally" and with GP.
Personally, I think blocking robots outside the home stretch for robots not hurdling is good defense, when done with bumper-bumper contact. Trapping balls in the corner is good defense because, regardless of boringness, it is allowed and part of the game. We should not let others dictate how it should be played because of personal feelings. Rules are rules. If a team follows them trying to win matches, it falls within the realm of GP.

It was done to us many of times and we accept it because its part of the game, no penalties were called, and the only thing intentional by the opponents is trying to prevent us from getting the ball and/or scoring.
