Crazy robot idea for this year 2

the first idea was not circulated much but it was a 3 ball shooter on segway like chassis that could fit on the bridge with any two other robots and would flop over once power is cut.

how ever the second idea is

if you made a flying ball that had about an 18" diameter with bumpers on it that could do to things; fly to opponents end and sit in oppomnents 3 point basket, fly to bridge and hover while touching an alliance robot for 30 seconds and then fall and roll to the ground at the end of the match. http://www.atomicrobotics.com/2011/10/flying-ball/

would this be legal?
would this be a game changer?

I am looking at rules now. can't find rule that says you aren't allowed to be above the opponents fender or touching rims. they assumed this would not be possible with the 14" arm and 60" height limit.

Plus I haven't seen anything about what is considered a balance if after game play your robot falls off bridge.

‎1 battery (or super capcitor if allowed to replace) 1 CIM, 3 small control motors froma quad copter rig, 1 victor, 1 quad copter control board (unless CRIO has to be used), 1 wirless controller, 1 circuit breaker, 1 light, 1 wireless adpter and walla you have a single rotor helicopter self contained that just has to fly for 1 minute with that weight

If CRIO has to be used does the crio have to be on the robot? can it be on the control board and connect to a secondary wireless RC like control system?

Specifically i would be looking for anyway to offload weight from the required "large FRC" components.

Just a thought. Good night
