Re: YMTC: Is it goaltending?
Thank you Ken, Dave and Joe for your responses.

They make sense. (I hadn't checked the Q and A board on this subject.)

I would still like to see the rule changed to "no goal tending if uncapping". However I will have to live with FIRST's interpretation. Hopefully there won't be any important matches decided by a team getting penalized when uncapping and the opponent throwing balls at them. To me, that is getting into the "lawyer zone": winning by intentionally drawing fouls where there was essentially no real chance of scoring and a nice stationary goal was wide open and closer.

(By the way, we get our capping ball in autonomous, so I'm not just saying this to help our team win.)

See you all on Thursday. It's going to be awesome. :-)
