No longer legal per Team Update #1

Section 7.3.6, Rule <G56> -
“ROBOTS score bonus points at the end of the match if they are entirely in their HOME ZONE, not in contact with any element of the field (carpet, alliance station, goal, etc. - note that for the purposes of this rule, GAME PIECES are considered field elements) and the lowest point of the ROBOT is higher than 4 inches and/or 12 inches above the carpeted field surface.”

P.S.
Remember to drop any tube you are holding before climbing a friendly nearby ramp.
