Legality of Downwards-Sloping Ramps

[Duke461]

That method is without a doubt illegal. <G19> states "MINIBOTS must remain completely autonomous and move up the POST solely through electric energy provided after the start of DEPLOYMENT by the permitted, unaltered battery and converted to mechanical energy by the permitted unaltered motors. This is quite simple. MINIBOTS must move up the post SOLELY through electric energy provided after the start of DEPLOYMENT. The gravitional energy from the downwards ramp is not electrical energy, is not provided by the motors, and is not an allowed form of gaining energy to move up the post.
