Daniel and John, <R19> clearly specifies that the robots must be designed so that the balls cannot go more than 3" inside the frame perimeter during normal operation.

This then becomes an inspection issue, because the inspectors need to check the normal operation parameters for the 3" incursion, whether or not it happens on the field.

I'm thinking that a rig like the inspectors had last year for the bumper/trailer hitch checking would probably do the trick. One side bumper, one side ball. If it catches something, grab a ball from the practice field or the field stash to verify.
