Q: What is the definition of immediately? Suppose that 7 balls are scored in rapid succession. Each inbounder may hold 2 balls at a time, which means that the ball coral cannot be emptied immediately. So, how fast do the inbounders have to empty the coral to be considered "immediate"?
A: In that scenario, the Alliance would need to rectify the situation to be in compliance with all Game rules as quickly as [sic] safely as possible.

My only rule change is this one. I would like to see a penalty for ANY balls in the player station greater than 6 (i.e. eliminate the "return as safely as possible clause). If a team wants to hold on to 6, then they should know they're playing with fire. If a team lines up to shoot, they better start inbounding. The only exception would be for the first 5 seconds of teleop (in case some alliance scores more than 6).

I think this would keep the offense flowing.
