Are you suggesting that no one will be able to hang because they can't design a system to get them off at the end of the match? I think you'll be surprised when you get to your regional!

What makes this un-GP? Knowing her grandson won a robot competition using an innovative, competitive design would make my grandmother proud.

I think the discussion up to this point has made it clear that it's very possible to build a robot that redirects balls coming off the return that meets the redefined criteria <R19> in Team Update #2. Am I missing something?
