Would littering the opponent lifts with blocking gears be a potential defensive move?
I believe as long as its not amplifying or easing a challenge to be ok.

G21. GAME PIECES: use as directed. ROBOTS may not deliberately use GAME PIECES, e.g.
GEARS, in an attempt to ease or amplify the challenge associated with other FIELD elements,
e.g. BOILERS, HOPPERS, or ROPES.

Re: Gears on the floor?

Yeah... a single lift intentionally blocked by a gear or gears might be allowed.

I think it is more likely that gears will be accidentally dropped in front of lifts while attempting to place them. This may be enough of a reason to have a floor collector for gears.

Kudos to the GDC. It's difficult to predict how this game will actually play out.
