Justin,

Sorry, I am reading 100 mph in order to get through all
the new messages.

As to trying this, we have after a fashion. Our ramp
is not 100% complete, so the results are preliminary.

Here goes: On the floor the base determines the
orientation of the PVC pipes. In the natural resting
position on its side, a pipe is at 12 o'clock so a big
ball cannot really balance effectly.

BUT... if the goal can be supported on the ramp so that
the wood base is hanging in the air their are pipes at
approx. 11 and 1 o'clock. This allows 2 balls to be
put on the goal, though they are not what I would call
stable.

If two goals are placed cross wise to the bridge (one
on each side for balance), it seems possible in theory
to hold all 4 balls on top. We initial thought that
the "valley" between these cross wise goals would make
a nice place to put balls, but then we remembered that
we don't have the weight poles on the goal yet. I
guess that the balls would rest against one of these
poles negating the 10 points.

Teams are welcome to try this method, but on balance,
it doesn't seem to promising imho.

Joe J.
