FIRST Ball Defies Physics
 

Take a look at this crazy inbounder shot into the far 2 point hoop
It flies in just short of the fender, bounces off one robot putting some crazy spin on it and then bouncing off the front of a second robot flying straight into the hoop. Maybe it is just the angle of the camera but it looks like the ball flies farther and faster on its second bounce than its first bounce.
Silly Game pieces. Breaking the laws of physics

you are watching 2 different balls. The one that bounces off the fender-bot goes to the top of the screen, the one that scores is shot from the other robot.

Yep, you can see the inbounder's throw bound off the shorter robot and roll off down the playing field.

Hmm, I'd only expect to see something like this on April Fools Day

Perhaps something generated a black hole to pull the ball back to the hoop?

That's one heck of a coincidence, though that the ball would bounce right near the shooter as it is shooting. Pretty cool video!
