I find it very hard to believe that if in fact that part is a junction for a track, that balls would be placed there as to be scored or for robots to get. In some way, the balls should roll along that track. If it were to just sit there, there would be no reason to waste time cutting out an arc in the lexan. But because there IS a cut, it makes me think its something AFTER the goal. In 2006 all of the balls would be shot into that upper goal, and there was a channel that ran those balls into a feeder box for human players.

My belief is, And I will try to CAD it up as best as I can, That there will be soccer sized balls on the playing field. I doubt that they would be colored for each alliance, But they could be colored for different point values. There is a goal in the middle of the field, suspended up high, 10'-12' in a triangle shape. Similar to the opening in 2006, but there are 3 sides to score. It also rotates, so if hit hard enough, it'll move and you'll have to realign your shot.

That track is just a way to maybe carefully count the balls, but mostly to take the balls from the upper goal, and channel then downward where they either sit on rails to be picked up by a robot, or channeled to human players to redistribute them.

Just a thought that hit me 5:30am
