I'd have to say that one is illegal. They don't even want teams using C shaped alignment guides for lining up with the goal. And Dean also made a point at kickoff that teams can only intentionally touch the striped bar on top. Those outriggers of yours are obviously designed to touch the poles, even if they only do when another robot pushes you. That's my 2 cents on the matter.

Does anyone else feel that the not touching the goal intentionally is going to create a lot of havoc on the field? Robots being tipped and such. That especially worries me since we don't have time to fix the robot between competitions. A few falls could really kill it for good!
