If they answer this Q&A by making it illegal, they probably ruin a few teams' strategies, introducing some distrust in the GDC.
Team 179's robot, in retracted mode with their ramp laid down, would appear to fit already.

They can shoot balls, allow other robots to climb up them onto the bridge....

Really not so hard to engineer (once you've thought of the idea).
