So, this is strictly IMHO, and feel free to shoot me down or point out misses in my reading of the rules I may have made. But, there are some pretty scary things that the rules allow, or more properly explicitly don't disallow. Here are the three that I've found.

1. Driving on top of Totes. I'm not suggesting this would be a good idea, but there's no rule I can find that prohibits a robot from using a mechanism to drive on top of a Tote. Seems like a safety concern as that would put the robot pretty close to the top of the guardrail.

2. Really tall stacks of stuff falling. While it might not be a sound game strategy, nothing prohibits the carrying of a stack of 6 totes topped by a recycling container. That's a pretty scary situation if the green garbage can at the top starts wobbling in your direction.

3. Obnoxiously large robots. Again, as with all of these points, I'm not sure why you'd want to do this, but....nothing prevents you from making a 27 foot long robot. While I can't imagine your alliance partners being happy with this, this isn't explicitly prevented and could really be a downer if the team insisted on going on the field with all 27 feet.

My point in this post is to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek about the matter. I know we could file all of these under "safety" if something goes wrong. But, at the same time at least the first two examples above could be excecuted safely, but if not executed properly would become unsafe.
