Balloons

I had an interesting thought about attaching helium balloons to our robot, and then detaching them in the middle of a match. The only rule I could find regarding the issue is G19:

Quote:
G19 ROBOTS may not intentionally detach or leave parts on the FIELD.
Violation: RED CARD
However, the field is defined as:
Quote:
a 26 ft. 7 in. by 54 ft. 1 in. carpeted area, bound by and including the inward-facing
surfaces of the GUARDRAILS and two (2) CASTLES
Which means that leaving things ABOVE the field doesn't really count?

Could somebody please clarify?
