Team Update 4

I don't understand this change:
Quote:
<G45> Active BALL control - ROBOTS may not control BALL direction with active MECHANISMS above the BUMPER ZONE. Violation: PENALTY.
By striking the word ZONE, doesn't this effectively mean that ROBOTS may control BALL direction with MECHANISMS, as long as they are not directly above the BUMPERS? And since you can't have a mechanism that goes outside your FRAME PERIMETER (except in FINALE or when touching the TOWER) it's not possible to interact with BALLS in that 3.5" stripe of volume above your BUMPER. Previously anything that was more than 16" above the floor could not be used. Now?
