I interpreted G36 as it being intended to remove robot mechanisms or stratagies designed to flip other robots...

I't would really be up to the Ref' to decide if you intentionally "gave a flipper to the throat" (sorry, I had to put this in here, my football coach always says this to the defensive line) LOL
