| | | | | | (...) Sounds like a valid strategy to me! See, this has totally opened up what methods people might use to get the task done. This is awesome.

| | | | | | (...) I think you at least have to stay on the beam. Otherwise, EVERYONE will jump off the beam. What kind of a contest is that? The other issue I can think of is JeffE style loopholing :). I can see JeffE driving up from California, leaving a Lego (...) (20 years ago, 4-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | | (...) For me, it's more difficult to raise my opponents end. That stops the JeffE sticker thing. So I think we should work on the premise of bringing our end down. (20 years ago, 4-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | | (...) Okay, if anyone builds a robot that "leaps off" the beam, more power to them. That would be amazing. Unless they are kamakaze.* Besides, that doesn't guarentee you a win at all.

Hmm, I think that a) getting over the bit of beam sticking down to keep the thing in stable equlibrium, and b) working through that tiny opening in the structure will present insurmountable headaches.
