Just because you decided to take the tradeoff of mobility over traction doesn't mean that it's un-GP to push you. In fact, it may be the best way to win.

While I'm against damaging other robots, I'm not against taking another robot for a 20-30 second ride across the field ... letting them go for 10 seconds ... and then doing it again. It's not against the rules, It's a valid strategy, therefore it's GP (not saying I'm taking that strategy this year).

So, I'm sorry Bill_B (and others) but be prepared, and design for, defense being played and pushing to happen.

The above is JM(NS)HO.
