Balls were not allowed to enter a robot's frame by more than 3". Robots were not allowed to lift balls off the ground. Robots were now allowed to use mechanisms in motion (relative to the frame) to manipulate balls off the ground. Robots were not allowed to extend beyond their frame perimeter for more than a few seconds. Mechanisms were still used to manipulate balls, but they had to meet these requirements.
