Re: Suggestions for resolving stuck balls

I'm not so sure the rules need to be changed.

As far as a ball stuck in a robot: I believe that this is a robot design issue, and that robots can be designed to release a ball if disabled, loses power, loses comms, etc... and that those that are not designed to do so should be less desirable as a partner.

As for the Truss: This is a chance you take for the ability to get an extra 10 (or 20) points. Design you robot to ensure you clear the truss easily and practice, practice, practice (so as to not shoot when you are not in a good position).

JMHO
