Banging the driver station

At a competition we were at recently, one of the teams would repeatedly hit the driver station wall very hard during teleop. Hard enough to dislodge computers and even knocking the e-stop off and disabling a team's robot.

It seems they would drive into the wall, turn and then shoot a low goal.

I tried to research the legality of this going through the game manual and could not find a good ruling against it. The driver station falls into a gray area where its not part of the arena, and not part of the robot. So "damaging" tactics don't apply. No real arena damage unless the e-stop incident is considered.

The closest rule I could find that would apply is 5.5.4, but even that is up to the subjective opinion of the referee...

Quote:
5.5.4 YELLOW and RED CARDS
In addition to rule violations explicitly listed in Section 3 (3.4 Rules), YELLOW CARDS and RED CARDS are used in FIRST Robotics Competition to manage Team and ROBOT behavior that does not align with the mission of FIRST.

The Head REFEREE may assign a YELLOW CARD as a warning, or a RED CARD for DISQUALIFICATION in MATCH, as a result of egregious or repeated ROBOT or Team member behavior at the event.


Question: Is this just part of the game play we should plan for? Or should this type of game play be made illegal?
