Re: the 50 point not touching the field rule
I was just kinda thinkin about this, if all of your wait has to be hanging from the bar, what stops a team from taking a sheet of whatever, and picking up the opponents who are attempting to be on the bar? If they convert all the weight of the other bots to their own bot, they ahve successfully negated the other team's score.

And further more, what is stopping a team from hanging from another bot? IE, bot 1 from red team hangs on the bar, and another one of the bots, whether a blue one parasitically, or another red one, hangs off of this one? that would make it really easy!

And one last point, the bar is "technically" not 10 feet up. the platform underneath it is 12", so its 9 feet. the bot can go as high as 60", or 5 feet. Thats only 4 feet above the bot in some cases, not too hard of a raise to hang!
