Re: Legality of a Strategy/Bot Concept

Somebody WAS saying that they thought it could be done. And that they might have a cheesecake for it.

Your biggest problem is those darn bumpers. Relative to the robot, as it's sitting on the floor (or suddenly transposed to the floor) the bumpers need to be in the 4"-12" zone, at all times.

Pretty much, you'd have to jump up (ATTACHING to the field is covered by G12-C), so you've got to line up, jump up, and you better have a lightning-fast grabber...

The biggest issues I can see from gameplay are that you get one shot at using this--after that, everybody's going to be defending you even getting there.
