Unless you've got a way to legally touch both the key [G01] and the bridge [G30-1] with the supporting robot and touch the key with the supported robot [G01], no. (And that would most likely involve sticking your favorite appendage outside the frame perimeter, also a [G01] call.) Net foul count, 1 T-foul (9 points) and 2 disabled robots for the match.


2007 was a special case. The loophole was confirmed to be there by the GDC during build season, but as soon as the strategy was used, it was declared illegal. Actually, IIRC, both robots were E-stopped the second they could E-stop them, but started active.
