Re: Removing game pieces from Trailers

Whew! I was wondering when this thread would start ... and I didn't have the gumption to start it myself ... but you've let the cat outta' the bag.

The only relevent rule I could find is: G32 Robot-to-Robot Interaction

It says that "contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is not acceptable" which could rule out trying to stick an arm into somebody else's trailer (but not necessarilty your own trailer)

It's not really spelled out for us yet, but I don't think they want us digging around in each others trailers, trying to eject balls.

Perhaps the size envelope limitations are enough to ensure that we don't attempt that strategy. ... but I felt really good there for a while this morning thinking that my camera could detect a SUPER CELL in my trailer and toss it OUT as the timer reaches zero.
