: Hello,

: I believe that if a good deal of teams pick up on the fact that if you tip the goal and put the ball on top of it in the configuration it still counts as 10 points, this would alow for all 4 balls to count and all four teams to get the 1.1 multiplier. This is what I would do if I were designing a robot.

: -Justin

The way the goals are constructed, if you lay one on it's side, it will roll until it rests on one of the flats of the hexagon base. In this orientation, one of the PVC upright tubes is directly up so it would be next to impossible to get any balls to rest on the goal when it is on it's side. The only way we could think of to make this work would be to hold the goal with your robot so that 2 long PVC tubes are at the top.
