Another conflicting response...

It appears we *can* now uplift goals, contrary to rule GM20, if we grab the bar. Or is FIRST's definition of uplifting synonomous with tipping over?

"Q: >>If our robot could grab a bar and tip the goal slightly, could
it be
placed on top of the other goal so as to have an overlap of a few
inches? <<

A: Yes, but if this is part of your strategy, don't violate the DQ
rules on damaging the playing field, or the DA rules on disabling
violations."
