Climb up the fender?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any insight on whether it would be possible for a robot to climb up and/or attach itself to the fender.

According to the game manual, its purpose is to "protect the hoops from damage done by robots," and the robots also cannot damage any part of the field. Also, the fender "measures 8-1/4 in tall at the front, and 10-1/4 in tall at the back against the Alliance Wall," meaning that it is curved, so it would definitely be difficult to do. Moreover, in [G11] it states "Robots may not become entangled in the Arena elements."

However, it would take a lot of the aiming out of scoring baskets if you could climb up onto the fender.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
