In reference to the Robot Jousting, It isn't clear in the instructions if
'knocking the other robot off once/IF they meet' is ok or not?  I see stuff like
'SUMO on a tightrope' and the word 'Jousting' which makes me think knock away,

Just want to make sure I don't bring a bot that will be called the schoolyard
bully or the schoolyard wimp if it's doing the opposite of what is expected.

Thanks
