Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.

Well, assuming this bot gets past both the 3 inch intrusion rule (doubtful), and the active mechanism rule (maybe), and the carrying/possessing rule (doubtful as well), what about the fact that this bot, when power is shut off, will not be able to be detached from all I have heard about it so far... seemingly the design relies on high power clamps or grabbers or something to keep it attached to the tower, yet these won't be easily detached when finale mode ends and the bot has to be detached...

Also, I have a feeling that someone will build this bot regardless, and that it will work 1 time during first week qualifications, and then be useless when the other midfield bot pins it against a wall or pushes it over a bump "accidentally" causing it to tip over and fall and die...

Though creative, I doubt the legality or effectiveness of this design... plus there's the whole gracious professionalism thing which easily can throw a wrench into those plans
