Can anyone clarify?

i do not believe that is legal. i believe the judges would rule that as entanglement and possibly pinning. in which case you can only pin an opponent robot for 10seconds. don't ask, it happened to us when we got stuck on top of an opposing robot last year.
Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox. - artdutra04 [more]
