Re: Question on "defending"
The answer to your first question is a giant maybe. The rule governing it is <R25>. It is legal to block or push on the tetra in your possesion, but it is illegal to grab the tetra and pull you over. For my interpretation: If it is sitting on the robot loose, there wouldn't be a penalty for grabbing it off. If it is attached to your arm and they pull on it and the arm releases nicely, no penalty. If they pull your arm off will pulling on the tetra, then there would be a penalty.

<G18> governs descoring tetras, both when CONTAINED and when STACKED.
