Man... just when I think that something is totally impossible, somebody comes out and proves me wrong. Unfortunately, this is a violation of <G35>, but I never would have thought of this way of getting three robots off the ground.

I guess that means teams will have to build a second control panel if they intend to practice driving before comps with a practice bot...(note to self: make sure team knows of this change...)

<G35> A ROBOT may attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on its own ALLIANCE. A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on an opposing ALLIANCE (doing so will be interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing robot, and may be penalized as such).

<G03> END GAME - The final 15 seconds of the TELEOPERATED PERIOD is called the END GAME. During this period, no ROBOT may be in an opposing ALLIANCE HOME ZONE. The intent of this period is to permit ALLIANCES to attempt to score bonus points without undue interference. An audio signal will sound five seconds before the start of the END GAME period, and again at the start of the END GAME period.
