imagine the field in this fasion:
Code:
| |
| |
| |
'-^x^--------'
|
|
[ROBOT]
' '
______________
PLATFORM
if the bars along the side were to be removed (in picture, hanging from the cieling) would your bot stay up?
in the case of the bot pushing the others against the bar:
Code:
| |
| |
| |
'--^x^^x^----'
/\/ |
.\ \ |
.\/[ROBOT]
' '
______________
PLATFORM
Without the bar, the pushed bot could still stay up.
Since we must try to understand the intention of the rules.. when finding all of these loopholes... determine the intention of your question.
Intention of chin-up bar rule:
To have robots hanging from horizontal bar. (when doing chin-ups do you do one hand on the chin-up and one on it's support?).
Intention of grabbing the side:
To avoid having to be hanging just from the horizontal bar.
Now.. what do you think your answer should be?
You don't need to go to Law school to be an Engineer.
