Re: Sitting on top of tubes
The "climbing on a tube" angle seems to be lawering the rule a bit. The spirit of the rule is clearly to get robots that can stack on top of one-another. I suspect that a revision/clarification to the rules will reflect this.

That said, there was a lot of discussion today about doing that. It would be an interesting mechanism that would allow a robot to climb on a tube without flipping it, popping it, or falling off. Those things are tricky for people to get in (in a pool)...
