Jake, et al,

After reading Raul's post, and the subsequent discussions, I had the same feeling. Since Update #2 did not mention the big balls on a tipped goal, I thought that Raul's post might be incorrect. Therefore, I decided to ask for myself.

I spoke to Eric at FIRST yesterday afternoon and re-asked that exact question. They have decided that any ball (big or small), supported by the goal, which is not in contact with the playing surface or a robot will count. This is regardless of the orientation of the goal.

I was careful to ask the question twice and make sure that I was being understood.

Bottom line, I reported this new twist to the Bobcat Robotics team last night and we are proceeding as though it is gospel. I expect Update #3 to have this clarification.

Mike
