<SG4> states that " blatantly intentional and/or Match Affecting Violations (especially during Elimination Matches) may still immediately escalate to a Major Violation at the Head Referee’s discretion."
My question is how one would categorize an "intentional" violation. In one particular example, a robot is holding a mobile goal and drives directly into the positive corners where 4 rings are currently stacked (as in the initial field setup). They repeatedley back up and drive forward to bash into the rings and make them move. The intention of this robot is to clear the corner of the rings to place their mobile goal.
Should this "bashing corner rings" strategy be considered an intentional violation of <SG4> if one of the rings leave the field?
In this example, the strategy is intentionally trying to remove rings from the corner, but not intentionally trying to remove them from the field per se. How should this be ruled?
