1. From Section 9.3.5 and 9.3.7, it appears that the Coopertition Bonus is included with the seeding points in the seeding score. Is this accurate?
2. From <G44>, if a robot has a top shield that is shaped to direct the ball downwards in a certain way, or otherwise specifically affect the velocity of the ball in either speed or direction, will the robot be counted as carrying if a ball does hit said top shield during a match? 2a) Specifically, if a team should put a chute on top of their robot to guide the ball, and stop moving when a ball hits the chute so that the ball is in motion relative to the robot, is this counted as possession, and therefore, carrying?
3. From <G45>, if a robot has a mechanism above the bumper zone that is movable during a match, but does not move it when it is hit by a ball, is the mechanism considered an active mechanism?

One question down... One more added!

9. A robot is designed to drive on its top when flipped over. Two different implementations are described below, with questions related to each particular one:
a) The robot has a second set of drive wheels on top, fixed so that should the robot flip, it will simply keep driving with the bumpers in the bumper zone. It seems to me that there is no violation here, as there are two drivetrains that both put the bumpers in the bumper zone with no actuation or articulation of the frame perimeter. Is this correct?
b) The robot has a drivetrain that can move vertically within the robot. When it flips, it moves the drivetrain up or down so that the bumpers are moved to bumper zone. To me, this seems like a violation of <R11>'s prohibition of articulated frames at the frame perimeter. Am I correct here?
