I dont care how much traction or weight your bot has, if I grab the end of the 12 foot lever I will drag your bot all over the field - turning the wings into pretzels in the process.

BTW - rules state nothing can detach from your bot. nothing can be tethered either
It's hard to grab something flush against a diamond plate wall.
