Even if this was legal why would you do it? Teams with shooters and arms can hurdle 5,6, and even 7 times a match. 190 has hurdled once, twice this way?

You would do it because it is a creative design solution to the competition.

I understand the problem and why it is not legal yet this question clearly lays out EXACTLY what 190 does. And even though rule G22 was not mentioned, the question only asks if the move is legal, it does not ask if it breaks such-and-such a rule. Therefore, GDC should of mentioned G22 in there response and said it was not legal, yet they didn't.


As for my contrubution to the brainstorming. I suggest the add a "wrist" and a suction "lock" to the end of there arm, this way you can lock the suction cup in place when it is reeled back to the top of the arm, rotate the wrist (so now the ball sits beside the arm, as oppose to underneath it) and rotate you arm until the ball has passed into Q4 yet the arm has not. Then retract the arm (which they can already do, I think) back into Q1, and extend back into Q2, dropping the ball.

I hope they find a good solution to the problems they now have!
