When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)

<G20> De-scoring - ROBOTS may not remove RINGERS or KEEPERS once they are HANGING. If a RINGER or KEEPER is moved out of a HANGING configuration after the POSSESSING ROBOT has released it, it is still considered HANGING. If a ROBOT incidentally removes a RINGER or KEEPER from the SPIDER LEG on which it was HANGING (e.g. knocks it off while placing another GAME PIECE), a 10-point penalty will be assessed. Obviously intentional removal of a RINGER or KEEPER will result in a disqualification of the offending
team.

You cannot intentionally remove a ringer or keeper. Doing so will result in the disqualification of your team.
