Balls bouncing out of goal
In viewing the proceedings at VCU I noticed that quite a large number of balls would hit the chains and bounce OUT of the high goal..... Obviously these balls should have counted but could not be seen by the automatic scoring mechanism.. I do not feel that FIRST designed the chains to be an obstacle but rather something that would allow the balls to drop easily.
It is apparent that the inertia of the chains (mass) is too great for the poof balls to move easily. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Any possible solutions? How was this handled at your regional? thanks |
