Re: rule questions

I'm wondering...while an alliance is on defense, is that alliance allowed to gather balls dropped by the offensive alliance on the field? kinda like...stealing? =)
The rules do not state that you can't pick up the balls. I hope you can cause relying on the human player all the time would not be cool. (No disrespect to the human players, its just at times its faster to do it with the robot)

Quote:
also, balls dropped into the corner goals are never retrieved again are they...so if all 80 balls are scored in corner goals, is that the end of the match?
All balls entered into any goal can come back onto the field. However since you are scoring on the opposite side of the field, its your opponents that get to put the balls on the field when they want (meaning throwing them onto the field or into robots)
