Suggestion to Fix Rules of Height, and Opposite TrackBall
I think one good way to fix the rules of the height, and getting your own ball down from Opposing side, would be to put both the SAME colored trackballs in your Alliance side.

So instead of a RED and BLUE trackball, you get two RED trackballs (Red Alliance) and two BLUE trackballs (Blue Alliance) in front of you. That would fix it up pretty nice and allow your alliance to get 16 points in hybrid if both of you can get a ball down. What do you guys think? I am sure the game design guys have their own idea, but that would be a pretty sweet change up.
