That is correct, and I believe the bridge counts as the playing field in this instance.

: : The problem is how do you hold two goals balanced and have more than 2 big balls. Early on in our strategy sessions we analysed the possibilty of holding 2 goals
: : horizontally and loading 3 or 4 big balls across - but
: : there just is no way that a 130 lb robot can be built to hold em any way except vertical and move/balance em. I suppose it would be possible to build a verticle goal transporter who could do this and stay on the bridge - but you would need at least two fast big ball handlers that could get 3 or four balls loaded super-quick. I think that Darwin is working here - if it could be done someone would have done it already.


: If you did the above any sm balls that are touching the playing field would not count. Correct?
