Scoring: Top of Pyramid - touching robot?
 
3.1.5.1 says that "A DISC is considered SCORED ... is not in contact with any ROBOT from that Alliance"

The top platform is roughly 11 inches from the exterior of the pole to the edge. With the chains, it may be a little harder to get a disc to fully lay in the top platform.

Issue: A DISC is haning over the edge, and would normally be considered scored "any part of the DISC has crossed through the opening". I presume the edge of the platform is considered the "opening" for purposes of the rule.

What happens if a ROBOT climbs the PYRAMID to the top, and due to the height of the ROBOT, a DISC that was hanging over the edge is now leaning against the ROBOT. By the rule, the DISC would no longer score.

If you design a robot to place the DISCs onto the platform, you need to make sure that it does not leave a DISC leaning against your, or any other, ROBOT.

Maybe, you score for climbing purposes, place the DISC, and then partially descend to avoid a disc leaning against your Robot.
