In 2003, your robot wasn't supposed to be designed to react against certain parts of the field. Truck Town built a robot that went into the middle of the field and unfolded over some of those elements in such a way that it made it effectively impossible for their opponents to cross the field (a chokehold strategy if ever there was one). Unfortunately, if they had gotten pushed they would react against those elements and become immovable. T3 was confident that they had enough traction that that wouldn't be an issue, but their design was deemed illegal. Here's a pic of the robot in its unfolded mode:
