If you were to somehow get the ball through or over the cloth, which happens to be weighted down with a metal pipe, using a rolling bowl from 27' away, up a ramp, I can find no rule that would currently provide a justification for a penalty, unless you had a robot hold the cloth open (G40-1, tech foul).


However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best.


Edit: just saw ratdude's post. Sorry, mate, but G40 only applies to a ROBOT sending the Boulder through, while the OP is talking HP, I do believe.
