e) Tipping robots repeatedly and/or excessively
f) Forcing your opponent to commit a rules violation

Bold is mine

According to this, We could stuff a tube under a ramp at least once (negating the 60 point lift) without getting a yellow card.
Also note that having a tube under a ramp isn't against the rules ... it just negates a lift. (please understand that I do not condone this type of rules lawyering)

If you look at pictures of my teams robot, we fit this catagory. It is quite possible for 2 robots to be on top of ours that are not supported by a tube and have Our ramp supported by a tube (especially if it were deflated). Thus, I want to know how this YMTC turns out.
