The back wall of the Ball Corral is of similar construction, except it is only 20 inches tall to permit easy retrieval of balls from the interior of the corral.

<G39>Scoring Inerference - HUMAN PLAYERs, DRIVERs, or COACHes may not reach into a ball chute or in any way interfere with the ball counting system. Violations of this rule will result in DQ.

I'm I misinterpreting, or do these statements contradict each other?
No.
The ball chute is the drop for the center goal and the ball corral is for the two corner goals. You may not interfere with the ball counting system for either.

This is incorrect. Per <S02>, the velocity at which the ball exits the muzzle(your robot) may not excede 12 m/s. This is considered in violation of <S01>, 10 point penatly and disabled for the remainder of the match.

As a reference, a ball traveling at this velocity when leaving the ROBOT at an angle of 30º from horizontal with no spin will travel approximately 35 feet. A robot that violates this rule will be considered unsafe per <S01>.
Does anyone know if a human player picking up a ball from the corral happens to drop it across the counting system, will the other team get a point?
