Q: How many of the doggy doors which let the robot push balls to the human player are open at a time, and can we block them?
A: The "doggy doors" are open cutouts aka Ball Chutes in the diamond plate so they are always open. Regarding blocking of the Ball Chutes, please refer to new Rule <G26>... 1 robot can only block 1 Ball Chute of the opposing alliance at a time.
