Try this instead - 4 big balls on top of 2 goals

We built a goal already. And guess what - if you lay the goal on its side, the wood base orients it with a PVC pipe in the middle on top such that it is impossible to balance the big balls on it. However, you could slide two goals together and create the bowling alley trough effect you were talking about.

: From reading the rules, I don't see that this is specifically prohibited. The rules say that big balls must not be supported by a robot, and that they must be on top of the goal.

: So, why not tip over the goal, and put 3 or 4 big balls on "top" of the goal, as it lies sideways -- like how they store bowling balls at a bowling alley. I'm guessing that as soon as I mention this possiblity, a rule will come out against it, but who knows.

: So, from reading the rules as it is, do people think that this is legal. If it is, it could dramatically change the strategy.
