I had the idea to "lawyer" that rule last year for can grabbing.
When "placed" on the field a robot had to meet these requirements. But there is time between when a robot is placed on the field and when the match starts. Why not have a mechanism slowly lower to just over the can after it has been placed on the field? After my robot is "placed", I see no reason why it couldn't then reach into the Landfill Zone.
I tried a couple of times on Q&A to get them to define "placed", but they didn't bite. Pitched the idea to my brother and a few others but nobody ran with it. Probably a good idea. Still fun to think out of the box.
