Like, if you build a hanging robot, are you making it so you can block other people from hanging from the bar.

OR instead of making a robot that is able to hang, then making it able to climb up on to the platform and block other teams from hanging.

OR if you are not able to climb the steps, are you able to block other teams from climbing the steps.

These are just ideas that came up one meeting, and I was curious if any team was doing. I am not asking if it is worthwhile to do (my team decided against this for a variety of reasons) or how to do it, like I said, I am just curious if some teams are doing it.

Maybe a team will do all the above. Think about being attached to the bar and still be able to drive around to prevent anybody else to get on the platform and be able to knock out the 2x ball at the last second before pulling yourself up. Did I say make sure your attached first to the bar before doing the other things.
