Re: Leaning against vertical bar
Let us suppose that robots A and B are hanging from the bar. At the last moment robot C attaches itself to the bar and rises off the floor pushing robots A and B against the pole. Common sense dictates that since robots A and B are hanging, they would each earn 50 points eventhough they are touching the poles. They did not use the poles in any way to achieve "hanging". If on the other hand robot D climbs up the pole (which I consider wrong), attaches itself to the bar but still stays in contact with the pole, I feel they schould not receive the points.
