Re: *4 multiplier? *8!??!?

For people who are asking why bother. Because it would be cool is a good enough answer for. Also, because it is hard.

For those who are saying it can't be done, people also said that 4 balls couldn't be done in 2001.

As for the rules, I think the intent with the term "capping" was closing it. When you cap something, you cover it.
To apply the finishing touch to; complete
To cover, protect, or seal with a cap

It also is specificly said that it can not be supported by more then one goal.
SUPPORTED – If the “supporting object” is removed, the ball would not remain SCORED or CAPPED and/or the ROBOT would not remain HANGING.

So I would make the intent to be stick them on top to finnish it, but nothing about 2 caps. But if you remove the first large ball, if the second would not be scoreing, then it dosn't count. So if you shove one down with another on top, they both have to be supported by the goal. As to what the score would do at that point, I think we will need either an update from FIRST, or wait to see what the refs at the first regional this happens at do.
