Agreed I was just trying to make a point that they also violate the <S03> shooter rule even though it was not brought up.
To comment on how this thread started. The confusion many teams like my own had with the shooter rule is that in the original version of the rule the word
throw was used so we believed
rolling the ball would be legal. We and several other teams who manipulated small balls in 2004 used a mechanism that was similar to what we wanted to do this year. Based on previous experience we thought this would be legal and therefore when the Q&A started giving responses counter to these items we were compelled to ask a direct question citing a specific example of what we thougt would be allowed. We were wrong and forced to redesign.
