Re: [FTC]: Possession of Rolling Goal Question
According to my understanding the new definition of possession is you have to be able to back off the goal without the goal following you... If it does then that is possession.

Spinning in place causes the goal to spin out of the robot because it moves so easily (most of the time at least), You have to learn how to drive a certain way with a goal inside your bot. If designed incorrectly it will be very difficult to do just about anything with it (legally).

I have seen a team in FL that swallows the goal as well however they were just a little bit to narrow so lining up was very difficult and when ever they actually did it they had to remain still on the field because sometimes they possessed it sometimes they didn't.
