Using your robot to do it is a foul.

Now, I cannot find any rules prohibiting the Human Players from attempting it. 1197 did run some tests, as have some other teams. As far as feasible and strategies... You'll have to monkey around a bit. Make sure you've got a bar at 6'6" though, to simulate the player station.
