But do you think FIRST made the game easier by changing the rule? I think it just made it more complex. Now, teams have to think of many more possible ways that a big ball could score. The possible configurations will drive you nuts.

Did anyone think of this unlikely config.: The goal sitting on its top and the ball balanced on the base between the casters? I'm not done - if it is leaning against the player station a human player can then place the big ball up there. Am I nuts or what?

: Car Nack is in disbelief

: 1. That FIRST made such a dramatic rule change to alter the game to allow scoring with the goals on their sides and four large balls on the top side.

: 2. FIRST will need a large supply of PVC pipe to repair the goals that are broken from tipping the goals over and hitting the edges of the aluminum side plates.

: Car Nack has spoken.
