My biggest problem with this robot is they wedge themselves under the tower and use a rule meant for hanging to accomplish this task. Its clear they are not trying to hang early.

In my opinion, in a game where 99% of robots look and perform nearly identically... I'm refreshed and thrilled that the GDC accommodated for a gutsy, outside the box strategy like this one.
