Predictions: A cynical view of reality

In practice, after a shooter hurdles, the trackball typically ends up against or near the opposite wall where it is very easy to pick up. There will be shooters that can grab a trackball as fast as any armbot and at the same time have the trackball loaded for another hurdle. Granted, most shooters will not be able to place, however, there will be shooters that can remove the trackball very affectively. I do agree that Hybrid will eventually produce at least a third of an alliances points.

Didn't I throw enough "usually"s in there? OK, nobody really knows, do they?

Anyway, to answer your demand, I draw from your own assertions for an example. If you hurdle over the lane divider, then you would have to go half-way around the field to go collect it, wouldn't you? Don't expect it to still be waiting there for you, BTW.
