That's true, I never thought of that one...

Yeah, no matter how many more rules we come up with, someone will always
come up with something to circumvent them (as you've suggested above). I
don't think (or at least I hope not) that someone's going to build something
to "cheat" and then pick about how the rules said it was "legally possible"
and how they should win "nothing", which is effectively all you do win at
rtlToronto events. Or maybe another way of putting it is, there's no point
in making up rules for people who aren't in it for the technical challenge
anyways.
