Vyrotek is an unknown quantity at this point
Does scaling/challenging require a weakened tower?

Quote:
A ROBOT has SCALED the TOWER if, at the conclusion of the MATCH, the ROBOT:
A. is in contact with a unique RUNG, and
B. has all of its BUMPERS fully above the height of the low GOALS.

A TOWER is CAPTURED if, at the conclusion of the MATCH:
A. the TOWER is WEAKENED, and
B. the TOWER is surrounded such that each of the three (3) opponent ROBOTS has
SCALED or CHALLENGED a unique face of the TOWER
The rules don't seem to indicate that you must weaken the tower in order to get points for scaling or challenging it. Is this the case?
