Q170

Q. Regarding possession of opposing alliance's ball: If a robot is attempting to score a 1-pt goal, if an appendage of a defending robot either a) holds the ball from dropping into the top of the goal or b) causes the ball to be "pinned" as it's pushed in the front goal, would it be illegal possession?

A. Yes.
It's ok if you don't "hold" or "pin" the ball. A deflection is not possession, no matter where it happens on the field.
