Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.
<G45> Active BALL control - ROBOTS may not control BALL direction with active MECHANISMS above the BUMPER ZONE. Violation: PENALTY.

What defines an "active mechanism"? If the device you control the ball direction with is moved to extend to get into the finale configuration allowed when in contact with the tower, is it "passive" or "active"? It isn't obvious to me whether "active" is restricted to only the motion used in controlling the ball direction.
