No, per rule GM20
Robots may not intentionally:
...
Grab onto the goal casters, 1" or 3" PVC...
...

RULE GM-22 says:
It is acceptable for robots to elastically bend the 1” PVC on the goal. Elastically means that they will return to their original straight shape when released. Bending them so they remain
deformed when released is unacceptable.

I think they basically are saying you can spread the bars, but not to the point where they don't return to normal or break.


Good Luck,

Pushing apart = OK
Pulling apart = not OK
