Re: Stacked Balls above 60" limit?

Well, if you can somehow "grip" a ball such that the "gripper" is less than 60" in height from the floor, but the ball itself (e.g. the top half) is above the 60" limit, well then, i guess it's legal.

But, I can guarantee you that your robot will be bumped (possibly even targeted) just to put that ball into play....ha, ha, ha.

No wide receiver would ever go into the endzone holding the ball outstretched knowing that it could be batted away! Well, maybe most "smarter" wide receivers.....groan.
