There are rules about what the drive team can have during a match. This is not one of the allowed items.

I think the troll meant standing in the stands as a spectator.

It's that little quoted rule, 3.14.1, that requires all competitions to conform to the laws of physics.

It might be worth trying at the Hogwarts' Academy off-season event, where 3.14.1 is normally waived.

Please note that 3.14.1 also specifically disallows helping robots to climb by "jumping up and down really hard" in the stands, and using divine intervention to improve autonomous mode.

The game is meant to be played by the humans and robots that are on the field and no one else. Duh. Other illegal acts from the sidelines include:

1. Jamming a robot's radio
2. Blinding a driver with a portable skylight
3. Disabling a robot with an EMP canon
4. Distracting a driver with an LRAD
5. Shooting drivers with tranquilizer darts
6. Throwing caltrops onto the field
7. "Disabling" a robot with a Barrett M82 sniper rifle.

I propose that before anyone uses the "it's just air" excuse, they must explain the difference between sniping a frisbee with a puff of air, versus a well placed blunted arrow. And if they still want to argue "it's just air", then we toss them in a 75mph wind tunnel for 30 minutes or so. I mean, it's just air, it's not like it's really doing anything.

Hey, it works! Our team always does magic fingers to encourage a successful auton.

Even after it has worked consistently all day I still find myself crossing every appendage that I can. I've tried to get other team members to do it, also. My thought is that if we will it hard enough it will suddenly have the most advanced autonomous available and all of the frisbees on the field will just fly into our loader.
