Yeah, but the best-laid plans...

The main thing is that this can effectively disable other robots. Call me a lawyer if you will, but that is explicitly prohibited and is a cardable offense, up to a Red Card for the first attempt/success and at minimum a penalty at first.

And the GDC will probably take measures as soon as someone tries this. (And, if the refs are smart, as soon as the robot starts going over, they will start pulling out flags for impeding/80" violation.)
