Alright, a couple more and I might just shut up.

-Given the natural predisposition of the game objects to roll if not perfectly upright, can a well-placed shoe, leg, buttock, or starter kit box camp out just beyond the edge of the tape?

-If a flopbot succeeds in doing the whole match without touching outside of the hard path, does it still get the 20 points?

And one field layout question: At the corners on the hard path, how far is it from the apex of the turn to the edge of the field?

(By the way, the revised rules on the website are a broken link.)
