[OCCRA]: [OCCRA] Neutral Balls

[Kyoshirin]

I have been reading and thinking on the rules, and realized that they do not mention what happens to balls that end the game while on the ramp in the middle. What happens to these balls? Are they not counted, or is there a special rule pertaining to this that I missed?

Official Answer: Any balls in possession of a robot at the end of a match regardless of where the robot is located are scored for the other team (returned to your side). Balls on the ramp/platform are scored depending on their position. A determining line in the center of the platform will be used to determine ball location and where the ball is scored.


BTW: The only "Netural balls" are VEX balls that are not scored. All other balls are scored for someone.
