Re: Did anyone build an "active" goalie post?

By the same logic the opposing robot is putting the ball into your mechanism so even if it is posetion it is not a foul...
This happened to us on Newton - Match Q130 by 1710 when our alliance (48) was trying to clear an autonomous ball. It was pinned above the low goal for about 23 seconds. It was called as an extended possession (50 point) foul. After it eventually dropped in the goal, with a little nudging by 48, it was scored for 1 point. Though I thought it should of been a possession foul and the ball should of been returned to the HP.

You can see the refs gathering by the goal to determine why the ball wasn't scoring at the 50 sec mark..
