Re: 30 Second Penalty

dont think of it as a penalty - you might not want the balls to drop right away - you might want to get the 2X ball off your goal and drag it under the hopper

or you might have a bot designed to catch all the balls as they fall, which would give you time to park it in just the right spot before they are released.

there is also the potential for defensive strateejury here- if you can stop your opponent from getting to their release ball in 15 seconds, you have an advantage over them

its not a penalty, its how the game is played.
