If you can't go over the scoring platforms, that is a design choice you made. If you damage them in an attempt to go over them, that is a rules problem... which can be fixed either by you not attempting to go over the platforms or by fixing the robot.
Have you seen a correctly covered scoring platform? If a team manages to damage it I'll give them the creativity award.
