Re: [FTC]: How far is everyone?

You're correct in your interpretation of the rules, though I think that the middle is a death trap. If you can climb the wall, you can climb a ball. If you climb a ball at the wrong time and are too big ... your bot will hit the high goal an inur penalties. Though that's just my synopsis of it though, and it may play out completely different. Our strategies make the assumption that we'll never need to go into the middle and that if we may miss the middle we'll save the shot for the outside ... meaning we'll never miss and therefore never need to go into the middle to retrieve. At least that's the theory, though teams may very well incur 40pts of penalties just to make us miss 10+ balls.
