Yes Rob building a "gun" to shoot blocks across the play area is a
valid way to TRY to get blocks into another robot.
In this case I think "violent" could be defined as having potential to
harm a human.
MORE specifialy. it could be a safe assumption that if your bot can
launch a block over more than 8 feet of the play area, and still hit a
childs eye with enough force to cause injury. THAT would be "firing
bricks violently"
This is just my opinion, and we rely on peers and audience to help us
decide on game day.
