Here's an idea that I'd like to put out there in the universe. Imagine a robot that would swing across the tunnel by latching onto the tower. We didn't go with the design because our engineering skills are limited, but I would love to see a swinging "tarzan" robot. For a bonus you could even have a sound clip play of Tarzan's yell. Of course, not so loud as to interfere with the game and break the rules.
That would be quite interesting. However, since you'd want to this prior to FINALE time, you'd have to be touching the tower before exceeding normal configuration. Hence you have very little swing opportunity, and would pretty much go straight up. The only conceivable way to pull that off would be to touch the tower, extend an arm and latch on, back up, and then quickly lift yourself so that by the time you swing forward you are above the platform. Good luck with that landing..
