We would have lost that match anyways by 10pts, even without 3 penalties against our alliance.

We also had a match where we were disabled due to the 2x ball in our arm touching the floor outside the field. Although the ref told us that was the reason we were disabled, I'm not sure that's right (2x not being part of our robot in that case). However, it probably would have been deemed unsafe anyways even though we probably could have gotten ourselves back up....
Oh well!! Life goes on...
Hmm... I think FIRST should set a presedence on the ball holding situation. There shouldn't be cases. Either the ball is or is not a part of your robot. Period.

My reccomendation would be that the ball is not part of the robot. I can't even think of a situation where it would make sense to call the ball a part of a robot.
