The tethered robot sounds like a good idea, however, I doubt you could get points with it. It might detract from the other robot, at least. I haven't seen these rules written, only talked about at the get-together thing.
See the thread about one robot on top of each other for what was said at the conference our team members attended. It seems like the robot needs to be completely on top, or at least not touching anything but the robot it is on top of to gain points.

And, no, the robot does not have to lift itself, it could be lifted by another.


Rule SC-12 says "any part that is still connected to the robot, no matter how loosely is considered a part of the robot". This rule might be only "in the event that" a bot breaks apart, but I think a tethered bot would still be allowable. Rule DQ9 also leads me to think that as long as a part is attached, it is considered part of the robot.

So tethers are cool; touching something besides the top of the ramp or robot, probably not.
