<G35> A ROBOT may attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on its own ALLIANCE. A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on an opposing ALLIANCE (doing so will be interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing robot, and may be penalized as such).

<G03> END GAME - The final 15 seconds of the TELEOPERATED PERIOD is called the END GAME. During this period, no ROBOT may be in an opposing ALLIANCE HOME ZONE. The intent of this period is to permit ALLIANCES to attempt to score bonus points without undue interference. An audio signal will sound five seconds before the start of the END GAME period, and again at the start of the END GAME period.

You don't NEED to get three bots off the floor...you just need 2

even if you needed to get all 3 bots up off the floor, it would be impossible to do as one of them wold still need to have some part still on the floor.

With the revision to <g65>... what i understand is that if your robot is touching a tube (feild element) the bonus points do not count...horrible situation if your a ramp bot. and you cant move more than one tube at the same time, or its a rule violation (herding) so what would you do....by the way, putting tubes all over your opponents home zone sounds like a good strategy. maybe bad GP though

Knocking them down for those who don't plan on picking them up off the ground and/or can't also can limit their scoring ability...however, that would be frowned upon.
