Ok. I really do like the idea, but it does seem like by the definition they are holding on the field element, and therefore violating that Q&A response.


What do you guys think on this ruleing?
The usage of that definition like that would then contradict the bridge supporting any robot. The bridge keeps the robots from touching the ground.
