Rule G36 unclarity

I would be worried about your last minute shot happening right when the cannon is pointed at the head ref. It could definitely be a problem with <S01> as it would be an uncontrolled action

In 2007, there was an inspection item for easy tube access and in 2006 there was an inspection item for easy ball access. I would not be surprised to see the inspectors looking for easy moon rock access this year.

100% agreed. We put a 'door' on our hopper so that we can remove balls from it as needed. Without such, our design would not be legal.

Throw some holes/slots in the tube to put your hands in to manually feed the balls through to get them out or just put a door on you tube to open & access the balls with.

You need to get them out without powering up your robot.

Once or twice a jam that requires powering up isn't bad, but a consistent wait or lack or your ability to get them out at the end of a match will irritate the refs & possibly incur penalties/warnings.

You don't want that now do you?
