This will prevent the 'hook' grab onto the back and/or sides of the wood.  IMHO,
the hook grab (even though i did it last time) defeats the true purpose of tug

And as for the other thing, I think I can build a 'bot out of pure lego and
sensors that can find and blow out a candle.  however, for those that can't
muster the 'bot building stuff o' legend to do that... well, sure we could allow
3rd party stuff...

Oh Dave,

I know you may be good at building a BIG, and heavy bots, but when it comes to
finesse, your skills leave something to be desired.

Look.

I see it thus:

If you(someone) can build a bot, that fits within the starting size and can
either drive, or launch a hook to the end of the 2" high game area and NOT touch
the ground, then you can use a hook and I think that should be allowed.

I like the hook I idea.

But I would be open to debate.
