Re: Odd things the rules allow, and should probably be changed

As part of the Build Blitz Strategy session, Karthik responded to a question with probably the craziest idea I've heard this season: tie a rope around a recycle bin, connected to simple drive base after the robot is set down on the field, then drive forward in autonomous.

There's some real merit there that would easily make this the greatest (usually shot-down) idea ever: replace rope with a plastic or metal strap, and make sure it doesn't touch the recycle bin prior to the start of the match. There's a very good chance the recycle bin stays upright, and a partner can easily get it out of the strap in teleop. The strap stays hanging out the back of the robot, but it isn't getting tangled in anyone's wheels.

It easily complies with all of the rules and is the type of atypical ideas we can come up with this year.
