The phrase I
stressed in <R18> subsection B seems to prohibit this:
Quote:
<R18> B.
The Trailer Hitch must be rigidly attached to a fixed location on the ROBOT, with the long dimension of the Trailer Hitch horizontal and the opening of the C-channel facing away from the ROBOT. The horizontal center line of the Trailer Hitch must be 2-13/16 inches above the floor.

This "fixed location" is defined in terms of relative position between GAME PIECE and ROBOT in Section 7, page 3:
Quote:
|
A GAME PIECE shall be considered “captured” by a ROBOT if, as the ROBOT moves or changes orientation (e.g. backs up or spins in place), the GAME PIECE remains in approximately the same position relative to the ROBOT.

While a GAME PIECE is not the same as a TRAILER, I believe that the definition of "fixed location" is the same for both. However, this may be a question you should ask the
Q&A service, once it becomes available.
