But the whole point is you *could* lift the slide real quick, pull out of the loading zone real quick, and pull back in. (I could even see a team writing a program that automates this such that they could just tap a button for the entire process) If one could build a robot capable of this, and get the sliding mechanism right, and perhaps have a fairly tall human player who likes running...it could be a viable strategy, actually. Just watch out, though, because top heavy robots tip, and good robots have big red targets painted on them, and that robot would be both top heavy and (conceivably) good, thus making it liable to be hit and tip.
