First off, VERY good questions, and I would like to ask you to take them to Q&A ASAP.


Unofficially, the first one would probably be the alliance partners beating on the robot to free the ball. The second one will be more difficult--unforeseen situation--but I would hope that there's some provision for the ball to be freed OR for another ball to come in. I don't see either, though, so until Q&A responds I'm going to assume that you're SOL.
