Oh wait, there it is...

<G09> "... If any part of the ROBOT is touching the carpet, the ROBOT is not considered on the platform."

Phew! Close one!



Say.... what if you blocked your opponent's platform and used a tape measure / tether to make sure your robot couldn't be counted as "on the platform"?
Other slight issue with this is that most tape measures are metal. No metal on carpet rule. I don't have a rule book handy so I can't quote a rule but I believe its R 35ish maybe.
