Thought that rules would only apply for opponents. Like, if you pin your own teammate, there wouldn't be a penalty, right?

Love the idea but i think i see 2 problems with it. I do not see the tubes making all the way across the field(maybe you can roll the round ones). The second is the pipe for the end game would get in the way. But more power to you. I would love to see it in action if you guys build it.

Sadly, no. I'm hoping it's an oversight that will be corrected in an Update.

<G49> ROBOTS may not attempt to POSSESS a GAME PIECE that is being POSSESSED by another ROBOT. Violation: PENALTY
