Re: We can extend beyond the playing field with our ball-knocker-offer???
I completely agree with Kris. The reason there is a 'cage' around the bonus balls is for the protection of the referees and volunteers. Although some of those 'flappy' mechanisms aren't dangerous, they still violate the rules by extending outside of the field. There shouldn't be an exception to the rule. If your robot breaks the plane of the ball corral by just an inch, you lose points. Robots that extend outside the field while attempting to remove a bonus ball should be penalized, regardless of whether it was accidental or intentional.
