Throwing Boulders

If we are in the opponents court yard and we throw the ball towards the tower and miss the holes, do we have to stay in the court yard until we make the boulder into the tower, or are we allowed to leave the court yard and have the ball be moving freely in the opponents court yard?

Re: Throwing Boulders

There's nothing in the manual that says boulders can't be idle in the courtyard.

Re: Throwing Boulders

As long as the Boulder bounces 3 times, you can leave.

Re: Throwing Boulders

Then shalt thou count to three bounces , no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then may thy robot move away to acquire yet another boulder...

Or you can spin your robot widdershins 3 times. Or whatever combination of the two you'd like, really.
