Re: Rules that I think should be changed.

As others have pointed out, the GDC made it very clear that you're not supposed to be interfering with robots trying to hang, just as you are not supposed to interfere with opposing robots during autonomous, or going back in time, how you were not allowed to interfere with robots trying to climb on top of another robot in 2007.

The difference between the first (hanging) and the other two (autonomous and robot climbing in '07) is that, in the first case, you're taking a gamble, as you can try to block and maybe get penalized (and even then, there are two levels of risk), whereas in the two other cases the penalty assessment is a lot more black-and-white; cross the line and you're done.
