If so, isn't that a clear case of ball posession (Carrying), and not an accidental one... their mechanism would tend to appear to firmly hold onto that ball (dual roller system maybe).
Clearly it's effective.... but doesn't <G44> outlaw this sort of mechanism...
We just competed at Chesapeake, and so I know that inspection didn't include a demonstration of ball handling, so when should this sort of <G44> thing get picked up and corrected?
(I mean, if it's permitted, I want one!)

It has been explained elsewhere but that roller type just reduces the normal force on the ball. When you get tipped over it will come with you.
It should not be a penalty though, because the opposing alliance cannot force 1114 into taking a penalty due to their actions.
