Dick,

469's mechanism appears to be entirely inside of their bumper zone. How do we penetrate their bumper zone without exceeding ours by the thickness of 2 bumpers. As such, it seems like non contact shakers and fans seem to be the only physical way so far that a single countermeasures robot can disrupt balls from going either way. Sitting on one side of hump covers only one side.
