Also another ? with the update I'm a little confused. Are the robots now allowed to shoot balls into the basket too?? or are they allowed to pick up a small ball and drop it in?

I think they're allowed to pick one up and put it in. I could be mistaken.

To anyone who thinks this is a "Read the manual" question: This one's a tough issue. I had to read the section several times before understanding it.

The only way a robot may intentionally interact with the balls are moving and placing the LARGE, multiplier balls and solely moving the SMALL balls. The robots may not place any of the SMALL balls in teh goals. I am not sure, however, whether the rules apply to having a collectino system for the small balls on the robot itself, then making them easier to move to the Chute system.

This has been answered many times. THe robots can pick up small balls, they can store them on the robot somewhere. The robots can dump the balls in the opening at the bottom of hte player station. The robots cannot score balls into any goals or block a ball on its downward path into a goal.
