I can not see in my mind how not not placeing a chip can be an advantage. and
even if you can show me, the thought that someone might program for that
scenario just breaks the KISS rule.
if people want to do that..... then so be it.
BUT keep in mind ANY RULE that automatically disqualifies a robot allows for
"lesser" robots to win.
for example: what if a known GOOD robot has a run of bad luck, and miss's one
chip. this ~could~ allow a robot made by Calum or Greg to win againts a robot
made by team Rob-dont stress my Gear- S.
