Re: Mechanism to Possess Soccer Balls

Imagine a large pair of pliers. Take the handles, coated with friction tape or gripper tape, and point them away from you. With the handles opened as wide as they go, the mechanism could satisfy the perimeter rules. Considering the 3 inch penetration rule, when you get to a soccer ball and close the plier-inspired device, the "handles" may in fact extend up to the bumper perimeter, but two seconds may be enough time to grab the ball, reposition, and pass it up field.

Thoughts?
