It is also unacceptable to grab onto or push hard enough against multiple surfaces simultaneously in order to wedge and make immovable a robot.

I'm not going to attempt to interpret it or be the interpreter anymore. All I can have are opinions, that's it.
As I said before, there are too many "what ifs". It all depends on how you handle your robot and depends on how familiar the referees are with the rules. Some of these referees have done this for years. Some aren't as experienced and are unfamiliar with the rules. It also depends on their interpretation of the rule. It's impossible to tell what your robot will do from pictures, all we can do is try to imagine what it would do. The only people are you guys that know what it will do. Hopefully it has been thought out enough.
No matter what, it's an ingenious design, and for sure Team 68 thought "outside the box". Hopefully they didn't think too far outside the box, but it was very nicely executed. The judging on this robot will either make it or break it. I have to say, good job team 68.
On a side note, did you guys build two robots like you did last year? That'd be quite a battle at IRI....
