the question i have is if i robot unintentionally removes a peice of pvc pipe from a goal that has balls in it and the balls fall out even with out any direct contact from the robot would that count as de-scoring balls......i don;t think this has happend yet this year but there is always that possibility
I remember seeing a photo from either the NJ or VCU regionals and there were pvc pipes on the field from one of the goals. As you said it's very common this year with the goals falling apart.
