Re: Advantageous to Take a G34 Penalty

Not only this rule. I don't know the exact number and I don't have the manual on me or on my phone but the rule the states a robot can only carry one ball at a time. I see two a few scenarios where taking more then one could be advantageous.
1. Your running out of time need two balls to lower the tower and don't have time to go across the field twice.
2. You mistakingly pick up two balls your going to get the panalty anyway you might as well carry them across the field with you to score.
3. Your on there side playing Defense and there are two ball left when the 30 second bell rings and they need to still lower there tower you could take them and bring them across the field to prevent the tower capture.

Would these be possible advantages in curtain situation yes deffiently but should you do it. Is the age old question
