The other thing that ought to keep you from doing this is the Co-Opertition Bonus. The winning alliance receives 2x the unpenalized score of the losing alliance, counted separately. (So if you win a match by 12-1, you really are just hurting yourself). I'm not sure if this is vice-versa (losing alliance gets 2x the winning alliance), but I've seen that mentioned here.
Rule of thumb in the future: READ THE MANUAL!

I would like to point out one thing to you. From know on, before you start yelling and scaring off the very people that may invent something that could save your life, thus keeping them from inventing it. Read their whole post please. Pay close attention to the bold.

Is there a rule against this? Cuz I read through both robot and game rules and saw no such thing.
What would be the disadvantages to this other than the one I mentioned (only 1 offensive robot)
