For those who weren't around when this happened, can you give a backstory to this??

816 and 87 both wanted to cross the same defense and couldn't cross any others. No rule about robots needing to start on the ground. The plan was for 816 to drive forward, cross with 87 on its back, and both of them would get crossing points (because both of their bumpers started fully in the neutral zone and ended in the courtyard). IIRC they didn't make it all the way across but both got reaching points.
