In 2007, you scored endgame points by being atop your partners--in every other situation, it involved a ramp or lifting device. Back during build, I'd asked Q&A about starting the match with one partner atop the other...and given two robots that otherwise couldn't contribute to the match, WildStang took advantage of the ruling to score 30 match-winning points. The next Tuesday, the GDC reversed their ruling and banned it going forward.

As I remember, 190's issue was that the robot was ruled to cross the lane dividers and finish lines in the wrong sequence.
