Re: Blocking both ball corrals

2. something that long is a giant level - the other team could hook onto the end and drag you around the field like a ragdoll, turning your wings into a pretzel in the process.
I just checked out FIRST's Q&A section, and it said:

Q: During a match, are the human players allowed to use both ball chutes or only one?

A: Human Players must stay inside their own Team Zone so they could only get balls from one chute. They can pass them to the other HP in the alliance as long as the HP stays within their own Team Zone.

This will make blocking the chute much easier than having to block 2.
