Re: Ball Stuck Under Bridge When Balancing?
EricH,
Yes, according to the rules, this would be correct. However, you are severely downplaying the importance of G14, which not only bans disrupting a balance attempt, but also using balls to aid in one. This is a technical foul violation, plus a bridge you aided in balancing would not count. Especially with the new ball ramps, I think it would be extremely difficult to "accidentally" manage to support the bridge usefully. You'd have to get it stuck perfectly within the bridge, go over to the other side to lower it, hope the ball doesn't fall out when you get on it from the other side, and then finally use that ball to help balance, all without the Refs noticing. I don't think the refs are that stupid.
You're throwing around "assuming you don't get called on [G14]" like that means it's probable. The whole point of that rule is to prevent the exact "doesn't feel right" feeling you're having. You may as well say the ability for robots to intentionally flip other robots without penalty doesn't feel right, assuming you don't get called on [G26]. Of course it doesn't! That's why there's a rule against it!
