Not saying I like the rule, but I was pretty sure we werent allowed to score that way. OR was this changed in a Team Update?

If the robots never posses the balls, they are allowed to manipulate more than one. Say, only one manipulated by a roller or vacuum to stay with the bot, but as many as needed can be "herded" by the bot

Just an FYI, we have a kicker that can fire Manually or Automatically. The automode is good because the timing of the sensor and when the ball need to be kicked is right on. But the Opperator and release the auto button and fire manually if we want to time the firing based on a partner or opponents position. SO... we can line up and score either way. We also use a camera and provide visual feedback to the computer as extra assurance we are in line with the target.
