So I am confused about how many mobile goals a robot can hold. I have seen robots that hold two mobile goals at the same, but according to you can only hold one mobile goal at a time. Can someone explain this?
Infinite as long as your not hoarding (putting mogos in a corner)

There is no limit to how many goals a robot can posses, but there is a limit to how many goals a robot can be hoarding.
here are the definitions of possessing and hoarding:
Possession – A Robot is considered to be in Possession of a Mobile Goal if any one of the following criteria are met:
- The Robot is carrying, holding or controlling the movement of a Mobile Goal such that if the Robot changes direction, the Mobile Goal will move with the Robot. Therefore, pushing / plowing Mobile Goals is not considered Possession, however using concave portions of your Robot to control the movement of Mobile Goals is considered Possession. See Figure 18.
- The Robot is actively blocking opposing Robot’s access to Mobile Goals, such as by expanding horizontally and restricting access to a portion of the field. See Figure 19.
- Robots on the same Alliance working in tandem to block access to Mobile Goals would share the Possession of said Mobile Goal. See Figure 20.
Hoarding – A form of Possession. A Robot is Hoarding if it is in Possession of any Mobile Goal in either of the two (2) corners of the field in their own Alliance Home Zone (i.e. positioned in the corner roughly the size of one foam field tile). See for more information.
With these definitions, a robot can be possessing multiple goals without hoarding multiple goals, only when a robot is in possession of multiple goals in the corners of their home zone can hoarding be an issue.
