Definitely insane. Yes, it is a bit complex, but here's another solution to green: It's a kitbot, built by FIRST, that is programmed to run interference. It would be in every round, including the finals. Of course, this means that FIRST will have to have a large supply of batteries and chargers at each event, but still, no game has yet had a powered "field element". (Hey, for bonus points, score on top of the green robot! )
