You cant say dont touch the link or you loose. Its impossible!

What happens if a robot is flying through the air (has been know to happen after a flip), lands on another robot (also been known to happen) and has its link door crushed/removed? Would two robots be disqualified for taking part in the link removal? Also I dont think the audience would appreciate the fight stopping every time the link is hit accidentally - it would slow everything down and destroy the flow of the fight.

Given that an LED is simple this is all getting very complex. You are now looking at special tools (a 10 meter boat hook), standardised coverplates and specific mounting points all in the place of a small LED.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE!

The LED is an indicator - not a safety device!
