<SG8> is as follows:
If a blue robot places 3 blue BuckyBalls on a red robot, such that the red robot cannot remove these BuckyBalls from itself without a large amount of effort, do these BuckyBalls count towards the limit of 3 total? (I’m asking this assuming that the blue robot did not violate any other rules in the process)
Thanks!

Please see the updated version <SG8> in the 05/10/13 version of the VEX Toss Up Game Manual . I’ve quoted the new version below.
<SG8> Robots may not Possess more than three (3) BuckyBalls at once. Violations of this rule will result in a warning for minor offenses which do not affect the match. Egregious (match affecting) offenses will result in a Disqualification. Teams that receive multiple warnings may also receive a Disqualification at the head referee’s discretion.
**a. Robots may not intentionally place BuckyBalls on an opposing Robot.
Note: It is not the intent of this rule to punish teams who in the process of moving BuckyBalls between Zones, have BuckyBalls accidentally land on an opposing Robot. Teams should design their Robots knowing that BuckyBalls may accidentally land on them.**
Thus, the Blue Robot would be disqualified, and the additional BuckyBalls would not count towards the 3 BuckyBall limit.
That’s awesome, thanks!
(Exactly the response I wanted… :D)
