Kamikaze Robot Strategy...

[Joe Johnson]

Suppose that you are playing against a team with a bullet proof 3 goal grabber/lifter/dragger (GLD) robot. Suppose that this 3 goal GLD Robot is very fast at getting all 3 goals and that once this it gets a hold of all three goals it can lift them or whatever so that it gets enough traction and that it has a low enough gear that it can basically to go wherever it pleases despite the best efforts of the opposing alliance robots.

Of course, this means that the match will effectively be over once this GLD Robot gets the 3 goals.

What do you think about using a Kamikaze Robot in order to match up against such a GLD robot? By “Kamikaze Robot” I mean a robot that would scream across the field, meet the GLD robot on its way to the goals and harass or otherwise hinder the GLD robot and its match ending grabbers.

Before you answer realize that such matches are going to start to look A LOT like a cross between a medieval jousting tournament without the railing and a game of chicken with two very brave contestants: It might be exciting to watch, but A LOT of robot debris is likely to end up on the playing field.

My question is three fold:
[list=1][*]Is this a legal/moral/gracious strategy against an otherwise effective 3 goal GLD Robot?
[*]Faced with an otherwise unstoppable 3 goal GLD Robot, would you employ this strategy?
[*]How would you react if your alliance captain asked your team to be the Kamikaze Robot?
[/list=1]

Your thoughts and opinions are welcome.
