Cool Re: pic: The Cow that Jumped over the moon!

Okay, so here's the rundown of things:
Why do this design?
1. Unable to be interfered from other robots.
2. Directly dump disks into the high and pyramid goals with ease.
3. Able to block disks from opponent robots by bypassing the height limitations.
4. Sit on the pyramid at the end of the game for maximum bonus points.
5. Put other game players in a state of awe and anger and render them incapable of playing the game well.

Is it legal?
Im fairly sure. That sheet/wall is a rolled up thing of cloth that would fall down after match start, so it would at least begin satisfying the bumper rules there. Maybe the mechanism would be removed.

To JesseK:
Hmm... okay. We might have folding propellers or cut out that plate in the top to allow airflow then.

To GaryVoshol: What is the grapple rule? (I don't know any rule by that name.)
