Re: Memory foam to protect top of robot- legal?

The memory foam rolls the ball to a specific point of egress from the robot top, right in front of the kicker. Some have questioned if this is controlling the ball illegally. The foam does not extend past the robot frame and compresses perhaps ½” at the time/point of impact. I fail to see how this is any more of a ball control than any other sloped surface. Thank you all for your input.
