Defensive Strategy - cornering opponents ball

[Gary Dillard]

This appears to be legal and a good strategy if you are going up against 2 good hurdlers, or if you have one big slow robot. If you push your opponent's trackball into a corner and "trap" it there, you can prevent them from getting potentially 8 points per lap versus the 2 points per lap you give up sitting there. The definition of herding allows continuous contact, and it doesn't meet the definition of being captured since the ball wouldn't keep the same position relative to your robot if you moved. You aren't impeding traffic so there is no requirement for you to move.
