1. That's why I edited it to clarify I wasn't talking about flying. (Suspension, for example, though I guess legally* floating could work)
2. Yes, and I have contacted the floor, which means I am considered to have climbed, no?

A ROBOT has CLIMBED its PYRAMID if it contacts the PYRAMID and/or the floor (Level 0) in

A. sequential order (Level 0, 1, 2, 3) during ascent and
B. no more than two (2) Levels simultaneously.


@pfreivald: ah, would you mind quoting this? I can't identify find which you're referring to: quick Q&A link.

I only see 3 answered so far, and the only climbing contact one (Q6) is "Can the robot go from the floor to level 2 while climbing the pyramid or does it have to climb to level 1 first and then level 2?", which is not on point and just restates the rule above.



*Legally by the laws of FIRST of course, the laws of physics are much more picky on that subject. But suspension, nonetheless.
