If I take the 2X ball and put it under our robot while hanging, then when the power goes out the motors start to back drive until the ball hits the ground. then the motor stop back driving when it sits on the ball.


Does this give us 50 points. we at that time would still be connected to the top bar and we would not be on the ground. the ball is part of the game and not the robot.

Words mean what words mean. If your robot is sitting on the ball, then by definition it is not hanging from the bar. NO 50 point bonus.

this would not be considered hanging because the 2x ball is supporting the bot, not the ball...if you were to remove everything but the bar, the bot would continue to backdrive till it touched the ground...so no, it would not be supported by the bar and thus, would not get a 50 point bonus
