Re: Ruling on Robonauts Balance

I must say I am rather bewildered by this whole discussion. The rules state that you cannot grapple on the field elements. 118's edge hang is about the purest example of a grapple that I can imagine. It couldn't be more clear that the intent of the rule is to prevent this kind of technique. I don't blame the GDC for not engaging in a debate about which dictionary to draw the definition of grapple from. They made it clear that you cannot grapple on the field elements. Period. Even if you can think of a word maze to rationalize that a grapple isn't really a grapple. Yes, you could do it in 2010. No, you can't do it in 2012.
