The rule seems pretty clear.
"...and any entanglement means immediate forfeit to the other player."
if it doesn't get entanglemented, it's fine. :)
Maybe I will build a robot for this event. It'll be called "The Entangler". It
has a 36 inch antenna that pops up at the start of the match, and a hook that
drags on the ground. The robot just drives around the outside wall trying to
get caught up in the opponents power cord.
Would that be legal?
