[G30-1]

A Robot may only be supported (fully or partially) by another Robot if one of the Robots is in contact with a Bridge.

Violation: Technical Foul for extended, strategic, or repeated loss of contact.
Just for clarification, this was answered in the QnA: (i wished we could link direct...) so this is a copy and paste:

Game - The Game » Robot-Robot Interaction » G30

Q. If a robot uses the ramp to become completely supported by another robot. Will a foul be called if the ramp momentarily disconnects from the robots?

A. There will be no Technical Foul called if the Referee determines that the loss of contact wasn't extended, strategic, or repeated.
