Re: Ball Recirculation Question

Side goals:
As soon as one of your balls passes through either of the side "mouse hole" goals, it gets scored one (1) point for your alliance, but that ball (now in the corral box) become property of the opposing alliance and ANY of their 12 people can reach into the corral(s) and use the ball(s) to relaod their robots and/or the three human players can use those balls to manually shoot over the wall into either side goal at YOUR end of the court. The rest of their alliance can ONLY touch/pass-around balls, not shoot over the wall.

Center Goal:
As soon as one of your balls passes down the chute for THEIR center goal, you get credit for three (3) points, but they then can retrieve the ball and do the same thing with it as paragraph #1 above.

The animation clearly shows left and right-hand human players reaching down into the corral(s) to re-feed robots and/or shoot over the wall.

SO.....Shoot your ammo wisely!
