Funny thing is, the particular strategy referenced was specifically NOT ruled illegal by Q&A!

Then it was used. That's when the Team Update was issued.


The backstory: Back in '07, you got points for having robots entirely supported by other robots. The rules (initially) didn't specify that robots couldn't start stacked on each other. When Wildstang (and Raul) found themselves with two barely-mobile partners, the alliance agreed to stack the partners during match setup and then E-stop the pair of them, while Wildstang scored what they could. Worked perfectly... then the next Tuesday, the Team Update declared that strategy illegal.
