: :Yes it was addressed at the kick off and it was determined that the balls had to be inside the top of the goal so if u flipped the goal on it's side and put them on top they would count for nothing. lol but i wish we could i was thinkin of it too then they said no and i was like aww man!

: I could be wrong, but I think someone asked this during Q&A at the kickoff and Dean said that it was not allowed. Can anybody confirm that?

: : Bill

I believe the question was about if balls inside the goal count after the goal is tipped over. The answer was that since the balls would be touching the ground, it would not count. Using this same logic, the big balls on top would count since (a) they are on top of the goal, (b) they do not touch the ground, and (c) they are not touched by a robot. But FIRST may quickly change this.
