Accidents happen. If called for incidental contact, it's a one point penalty. I'm sure they stopped more than one point from being scored.

If I didn't want to get stuck in a goal, I wouldn't build a robot that could get stuck in a goal. I don't see how this is an issue. Looks like smart play to me. Can someone cite a portion of the rules that proves me wrong?
We're thinking of using static electricity to pick up the tubes. The programmers are trying to figure out how to make the robot shuffle it's feet on the carpet. - Tom Ore [more]
