I'm gonna have to disagree here... They changed <R19> in a big way. Not being able to intentionally affect balls above the bumper zone, while not POSESSING them is huge.

define 'a specific manner'. If i design a robot that looks approximately like this:
Code:
|\
| \
|  \
|   \
|    \
|     \
________
and park it in the direction that would deflect balls toward my end, have i violated this rule as updated in TU#2?
