Could several balls be rolling around inside the lagoon area without being considered possessed, or having penetrated more than 3" into the frame zone? Would all the robot's H/W have to be built up ONLY within vertical space directly above the atoll shaped frame, or could some hardware protrude into the space above the lagoon? Why would there even need to be a bumper inside anyway, since no impact could ever happen there, and only "topologically" it is still the "outside" of the frame?
Kind of tricky getting a shooter concept to fit with this scheme for sure.

Any convex part of the frame will not be considered as the frame perimeter, if you have a convex are you want the ball to sit in the ball may only go 3" past the line created by wrapping a string about the corners of your robot, that is what defines the frame perimeter
