Likely 10-point penalty for reaching backward across the line. There's only about 4" of legal ball surface to contact that is across the finish line.
Doesn't appear to be legal per <G27> - it would be herding while in possession of another ball.

3. We are checking this one..field not done yet...but over pass is 6.5, ball droops down into the 6.0 feet range, 7" droop maybe??? you might be able to stick up right at the 6 feet mark, and still barely scrap the bottom of the trackball from bottom....again...still checking into that one...

I'm doubtful the droop will be enough to use any mechanism on your bot that stays under 6 feet. If a team can do it, all power to them.

Hopefully they will turn out to be good outside-the-box thinking.

Use the 2006 Pokey-pokey sticks, and let them fall where they may?
