Re: Q. about "the ball"

Hmmmm.

let's see. If you draw black curtains around your ball storage compartment DURING a match, what does it prove?

Well, the opposing alliance won't know just how much ammunition you've got on-board, so that may alter which 'bot they want to thrust their defense against.

On the other hand, a ball that is stored or hidden in your robot is not a scored ball, therefore, it's s moot point to hide balls?

Interesting discussion here.......
