OK, i don't want to sound like one of those guys that digs for loop holes.  Unlike
SOME people who build self balancing robots.... BUT.

if i lay on the ground 1 AC line. and some other robot just drives over it. AND DOES
NOT GET TANGLED in it.  do I still lose?

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?
