It’s basically engineering a robot to hold a ball outside of its diameter, which makes it so much harder to manipulate. Which is the entire challenge that was one of the biggest challenges my team faced which was how to manipulate the ball without going in 3" if you took that rule out the task becomes like every other year a hand or some sort of cup into the robot would hold the ball and it would make it so easy to manipulate and shoot the ball even though it’s easier for the rookies it’s much easier for veteran teams. Whereas this competition is support to challenge the mind and force teams to think outside of the box, Thus the game is not only challenging for rookies who will not only learn much more valuable information for next year but it levels the game with veteran teams who also struggle with this rule.
