Not sure if anyone else caught this, but the rules say that if the ball is knocked off of the overpass you get points. So it doesn't matter HOW they fall, so long as they do. I just want to say that defense will be much more difficult to manage than trying to score, so I'd recommend building a tough bot that can at least do laps.
