But.... that sounds like the greatest thing imaginable!

I would still argue that if a team designed a completely passive robot (no stored energy, no actuators, no battery, just a structure that you put on the field that helps an alliance) it should be permissible. The challenge that we were given at the beginning of build season requires that we score lots of points. If you can solve this challenge without using electrically stored energy or actuators, then you should be able to take that approach.
