Well even if they ball gets caught around the pipes it still counts as in. But my question is with the beam in the middle how hard is it to bank it of off that and keep it in or do the balls just bounce off?

i was wondering that to, does the orbit ball need to be i the hoop or can it be hooked on a hoop?

The manual makes the answer clear.

We too have gotten one from a kick off. We're just holding it fo the time being. Me along with some others have been messing around with it. I have found it to be very easy to bounce it off of the middle pole. That might just be an easy way for the way I throw, but I make it almost everytime I throw it. So using it is a great way to get the balls in.

Did you throw over a six and a half foot wall though or try and simulate that?

We too have a whole corner of the feild, so yes. We also messed around with attaching the trailer to our prototype bot, drving that around while some body throws. It'll be interesting for sure.
