Re: Suction as a method for possessing balls

For anyone planning to use suction and potentially go up the ramps to score or go under the tunnel, I would caution that there are little bumps in the carpet on either side of the tunnel that might cause you to lose contact with the ground (they are about 1" high). They are metal plates that hold up the tower underneath the rug. I dont believe they are mentioned in the rules, havent checked the field drawings, but they are there and you will need to be VERY careful of these...
