Re: Ball eject

My only question would be, how do you design a mechanism that allows you to eject the ball when the robot dies, but NOT when the robot is disabled at the start of the match. I don't really see a simple way to do it.

On top of that, I have to believe that this is the kind of issue that will get addressed by the GDC in a game update or Q&A. I can't imagine they would make a game where one alliance could not score at all if one of their robots died... for that matter, what happens if both alliances have a robot die with a ball? No one scores at all that match? You could effectively have a game that is decided within the first 10 seconds, which doesn't make for a very interesting game.
