Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals
If you dump in the 5-point goal of a pyramid, there is a chance for them to cross the goal opening, but still touch your dumping mechanism.

Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals
You're right. I was thinking only of the other goals. According to the game questions clarifications (#71), if the discs bounce out, they do not count.

Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals
As in every year, the field IS the field. It is the same field for every team. I hate to see scored Frisbees bounce out, but it will probably happen to every team, unless someone has a shooter that floats the disks in to a soft landing.

I suspect that most teams have been designing for longer, faster, harder shots. Makes me think my original idea of a robot to scoop them up off the floor and dump them in the low goal might not have been such a bad idea after all!

Chairman's Award is not about building the robot. Every team builds a robot.

Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals
Has FIRST published an official change to the chain structure of the goals? I don't remember seeing it in an update, but the week zero scrimmages clearly had the chain strands connected at the bottom.

Surprised no one has brought this up on CD to my knowledge. Am I just seeing things?

Seeing all of the unconnected strands in the reveal videos last night brought it to mind again.

Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals
Balls bounced out of the goal in 2006.

The playing field characteristics were clearly documented.

I think teams could have reasonably predicted that having discs "stop" inside the goal would be a factor.

I don't see what you mean.
The chains appear to be swinging quite freely.
