Re: Blocking both ball corrals

Well, I think the pulling thing will not be a problem because it seems fairly easy to design the wings to be fairly flat against the wall, which you would be pressed up against, so that it will be difficult to push you.

Really, the only way I see this having problems is if the other team is able to hang, or if the other team can keep you away from their wall, in which case they're still not collecting balls.

And Jedi, since the rankings are determined by wins and not points this year, I think having a better chance of outscoring your opponent by not letting them score is better than a somewhat lower chance of outracing your opponent to a high score.

EDIT: Oh, and the reason I did not add on to the other smiilar thread is because I think blocking the opponent's vision is a really bad idea and probably illegal (via implication) anyways.
