I think a lot of the frustration being generated by these particular rules is apparent. Many teams thought of creating systems exactly like these: we did as well. The GDC's vague answers and refusal to clarify forced teams to make their own judgement calls.

We don't have the resources to design a mechanism that will likely (our own opinion) be classified as grappling and ruled illegal.

I wish 118 all the best. I will be extremely frustrated if this system is ruled legal by the GDC, thus conveying an advantage to teams that built something like this.

This issue is completely of the GDC's creation. Until they rule, all we're left with is opinion. If it's ruled legal there will be many very upset teams.
