Unfortunatley I think this year is going to be a real shocking mess when it comes to situations like this. I predict this will happen quite a bit during the first week of competitions. But like stack attack, all those elevators came off and the game was reduced to defensive smashups. I think teams are going to attempt simplified mechanisms to get by. I suggest teams with high CG designs consider making that mechanism modular and detachable from the lower chasis, to allow for this pit reconfiguration. Although this year, the only things you can do without some sort of arm is defense and possibly score under the tetras.

With the speed and power provided in the kit, it's going to be ugly. But when someones in your way, and the adrenaline is pumping - pushing through a roadblock will likely be option #1. And this means our cherished robots suddenly become doormats for viscous projectiles. I know this feeling, it's not a good one. So build them tough and be ready for your baby to take it lying down.
