But isn't the spirit of the compition innovation?

Not necessarily a fan as everyone seems stuck on. But for those that have experience in RC Aircraft, the duct fans provide
LOTS of pushing power. I'll have to try it out, but I think it could move the ball. Have them point at an angle upwards (posssibly 45*) and you should be able to blow the balls away if they are thrown. If they are otehrwise placed in, that's another story.
The 45* would also give some forward movement and traction, but how much and how useful it is, is uncertain. My question is (haven't read the rules yet), is it legal to deflect the balls like that?
