Yes, that's what Moe, and Sparky 3 both did as well. And they could push the 3 goals that year. But in the end at the final matches, both bots started falling apart on the field... But honestly look at the physics, of it, your arms could be used against you when trying to cover the corrals. It's just not the most sound idea. Also yes you can try to control the field, it's not impossible, but improbable of it working. Just look at the physics.
