Re: Drawbridge Technique: Legal or not?

Great observation!
Personally, I like to play it safe. The rule states that the judges can't award points if there is a feasible argument against awarding the points. I think that the best thing to do would be to build a robot that can cross the drawbridge without using this exploit, so that you can avoid breaking the rules. And considering the number of points that it's worth to damage a defense, I don't think that rule-challenging is worth it.
