I believe Art is well aware of that, but is calling out the fact that if you grab the ball at it's center point (equivalent to the Earth's equator line) then you run the risk of going outside the virtual cylinder with your robot.
But there are other ways of grasping the ball, like
THIS for example which don't require grabbing it at the Equator line which would work.
This should be clarified by the GDC none-the-less.
Meanwhile, it's water over the dam, spilled milk, etc. Let's drop the subject and get on with life. I am seeing people warming up their lawyerism, which is not a good thing when we are coming up on build season. - EricH [more]
