Re: Loophole?

My guess is that they will have an additional supply on trackballs on hand if replacing the current one will take too much time. I think they'll just basically throw or lightly toss the trackball back into the field in a random spot.

As for intentionally knocking balls out of the field, I can imagine a penalty if it's done frequently or obviously not a mistake or robot error.

This is a good question though as there are only 4 balls on the field....perhaps someone should q&a this?
