Which is why I asked last night earlier in the thread. And why I stated that. The robot does control the Stack via the Robin bot section (or even the Batman Bot section if inserted while the forks control the RC, ergo the RC is a part of the stack or not (either way a robot controls the game pc. during the insertion of the litter), and the litter is NOT inserted in the RC via the Litter Chute, so the exception to the rule does not
seem to apply if parsed logically...But, I didn't yet know if there was a recent Q&A dealing with it. The rule as originally written, had a later "exception made", we have seen exceptions to exceptions in the past....Will be interesting to see where it goes. Squeeky wheel...meet grease. Look where "The Littering Agreement" went back in weeks 1&2. (Up down, around the corner....Down the street, across the nation, and ended up nearly in a different country...No longer in contract format!) It just simply does not even exist. Though there is a possibility, now just in a different form. We may agree NOT TO LITTER!
I wasn't about to rain on a certainly fantastic parade (asking questions and hopefully getting some answers was what I was after), as tradeoffs are always necessary when attempting the seemingly or nearly impossible.
Team 148 deserves all the accolades they receive on that amazing tethered robot contraption. They cannot possibly fail now...They tried no matter what! We'd certainly be very happy to insert their litter at the Championships!
And so would many others.
