I'm not sure if this means that you can simply vault the wall and get the points this way. I'm pretty sure if you vault the wall you would not be allowed to get/put your robot back in play.

Careful, Careful - This sort of topic makes me want so say "Use the official Q&A forum!" very loudly. Robot parts intentionally leaving the playing field (if you hook onto the wall to get off the foam) is generally a bad thing....

I recommend you ask for and get an official answer to any questions you may have, or if you want to try an exotic strategy that gets into any gray zones (like hooking onto a wall).
