Memory foam was never on the allowed materials list for the Minibot. However, it's not on the
disallowed materials list for the Hostbot.
I had an idea: If the robot's arm just so happened to be up at the end of the match, just so happened to be about 10' tall, and just so happened to have a device at a shoulder joint that would allow any claws to be operated by hand without robot power being turned on, I don't think the refs can use the "special equipment" rule to disallow that being used to bring the Minibot down. It's part of the Robot, after all...
