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.

And what did we decide about that? I think it was that we would call them a
name which was analogous to swine love and call it a day.

a), because it encourages people to build clever/lighter, rather than just add
bricks to get as close to a decided upon weight. And espically a) if we use the
two-beam idea and have a second beam overhead like in the little drawing I did
