I do recall seeing one fairly tall robot whose top was pulled across the step, into the airspace over the opposite landfill. However, it appeared to be above the landfill totes and did not (I believe) result in a G18 violation.

Not only did the canburgular wars not quite reach the fever pitch I anticipated, I do not recall alliances going after the inverted totes or totes on the step in an effort to get those last few points, which I sort of expected at the division finals and on Einstein.
