Hi Karthik, firstly thankyou for coming and watching our elimination games with 44 to make sure we werent DQd! We appreciate it
Wallbots…
"a. Robots which have expanded horizontally in an effort to obstruct the field will undergo even more scrutiny under <G11>, and will not be protected under <G11>. e.g. If you choose to undertake this type of strategy, your robot should be built to withstand vigorous interaction.
i. Furthermore, teams that undertake this type of obstructive strategy would not be protected by <SG3>. e.g. There is no penalty for pinning a “wall-bot” "
To what extent does this ruling apply? As in, are wallbots protected from any damage at all? Or can ANYTHING be done to them, assuming no other rules are broken? Can sacks be placed on wallbots?
Secondly, stupid ideas to do with wallbot counterattacks - is <G1> included for this? (I always get told G1 when i tell people my ideas -.- :p)
And now… i cant remember the other questions and clarifications i had… il be back later with more when i remember!

The following Q&A entry answers your question:
To summarize, wall-bots are not protected from damage that is incurred by a robot trying to get past the wall-bot.
Please make sure to search the manual thoroughly before posting questions. There is a specifc rule that deals with this situation:
There are no exceptions to this rule for any type of robot.
When asking a question dealing with a specific rule, please make sure to quote the rule in question. Also be sure to read the rule carefully. I’ve bolded some text for emphasis
