[ALIBI]

Question One: Probably OK, however, most of the launchers that I have seen would not have any trouble pointing a little left or right to shoot around you unless your elevator is really wide (80").

Question Two: Yes. It looks like it will be OK to pass to another robot on your alliance as long as no part of that robot is in or above the home stretch and it must be clear to the refs that for at least a split second the trackball is not in contact with the catching robot after the trackball has completely passed the finish line. There are several Q&A's that get close to answering this question but none that specifically talk about the catching robot.

MasterAlex: I searched the rules and Q&A, I am sorry if I missed it, but I did not find anything that says it must be a robot from the other alliance. This could impact several strategies we are working on. Could you please point me in the right direction to find that ruling, I could have missed something. Thank you in advance.
