people keep referring this a "loophole" strategy and saying that this is not how the game is "intended" to be played; i personally think this is where innovation and thinking outside the box can take really take flight. Not only are you thinking about different types robots but also different ways to approach this difficult engineering problem. IF FIRST wanted everyone to build kicking (or robots of similar type) then they would have said so, that's the beauty of this program, leaving the door open for anything that is within the rules, which in this particular case have been given the go-ahead by FIRST/GDC.
