Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

I believe a viable strategy to block this is, as you said, simply prevent the first ball from being intaked. One could do this by, theoretically, having their intake disrupt the other team's or have a mechanism that flips out and kicks the ball out from underneath the intake before it enters the other robot. Perhaps a "simple" piston?

EDIT: Pistons are never simple
