yes, we have thought of this. the rule states (please correct me if i am wrong) that you can not interact with more than one "face" of the barrier. well, there is no way that (even if u pushed on both sides) those arms would pinch so that it touched on two sides. This form of agressive pushing is also considered "pinning"

Reacting is grabbing or using the top of the field borders, the top of the driver stations, the top of the pipes at midfield, and the top of the platform/ramp polycarbonate sides with the intent of supporting a robot or robot part. It is also unacceptable to grab onto or push hard enough against multiple surfaces simultaneously in order to wedge and make immovable a robot. Contact with all of the barriers is acceptable
at the end of the game, however, we have to lift our arms up, in order to get the extra 25 points
