. . . you'll notice that their wings are designed to deflect some of the force of an oncoming robot.

. . . you'll also notice that, unlike many other robots like this, they have taller towers at each end of their wings. I'd bet it's not for suction cups. There are lots of other cool, interesting things you could do with that space.

Have faith. 45 isn't unbeatable, but they're not a stupid bunch, either. They're a well balanced team that thinks things through, and I doubt you'll find anything that's a sure fire way of getting by them just by looking at their robot.
