It's rule [G10]. It's been there since the start of the competition season.

Every regional from now on is going to have the team of Field Builders attempt to figure out their own ways of solving the problem with the basketballs now, which is a very good thing.

I wonder if it would have been smarter for the GDC to forego the ball ramp and instead allow teams to activate mechanisms further outside the frame perimeter and increase the size of the fender.
