Re: The Ultimate Game-Breaker Robot: 2012 Edition

As presented, the strategy seems legal. However, I really hope that this strategy is deemed "illegal" in Q and A. To me, a robot that purely wedges itself under the bridge seems like it would exploiting a loophole, not an innovative game strategy. Now, a robot as mentioned that plays the first minute and then goes under the bridge does seem more reasonable.

This reminds me of hanging on the tower in 2010. A number of teams realized that they could hang on to the side of the tower and still be defined as supported by it. However, these teams still played the rest of the game.
