Ruling on Robonauts Balance

[Billfred]

Some thoughts:

1) Yes, 118 is taking this design to the very limit of the rules (though, in my mind, never quite over).
2) Yes, the GDC should be more clear in these edge cases. (Not the "Can we use the F-P motor to raise our shooter up to get a closer shot?" questions, but you know what I mean.)
3) Yes, I'd love to read the GDC's position on the whole matter.
4) I'm a touch surprised, but eminently pleased that we made it to Week 1 of competitions before we reached a rule or ruling that made me want to say "Paging the IRI Planning Committee..."
5) No, I still don't want to be on the other side of the glass from these guys.
