Just because an issue isn't addressed specifically doesn't mean that it's not illegal. FIRST is built around gracious professionalism, and FIRST-ers are to apply gracious professionalism in every aspect of FIRST (and preferrably in extra-FIRST matters, as well). This includes in the build season, in the arena, and yes, even in interpreting the rules.

Could you build the "bed sheet bot"? Yeah, I suppose. Would it be gracious professionalism to employ that strategy? Nope. Would it last 1 match on the field before a ref steps in and makes the call that it's illegal? Nope, definitely not.

Threads like this can be fun---but you're starting to sound a little too serious about breaking the rules. Everything has limits.
