Agreed! Just watched the 179 reveal video and loved the wheeled shooter including a turret. We considered doing that this year but didn't think we could do that and still get under the low bar. The "Swamp Thing" managed to do it very effectively -- well done!

We've been operating under the above understanding, too -- if the "shooting" robot has backed away from the tower so that a bumper is over the ramp to the defenses, then for a defender to interfere with that robot should be a foul, at least from our understanding of G43.
