Thanks for the clarification.<div><br></div><div>I feel that allowing goals from chip kicks like in the scenario I mentioned will promote unintelligent behaviour where attacking robots will just keep on chipping at the goal in the hopes that scenarios like this happen, and that they will be awarded goals. For the goalie, however, it's reasonable to "catch" the chip kick, but entirely unreasonable to predict exactly how the ball will bounce off after hitting the goalie. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Therefore, I feel if we are to allow goals from chipping, then if the goalie intercepts a chip shot in the defense area, the game should stop and the goalie should be awarded an indirect free kick from where it intercepted the ball. This is just like in real soccer where if the goalie actually catches the ball, he/she has full control of where he/she will pass the ball to, next.</div>

</div>Hello,<br>
Yes, this would be a goal for yellow. The only case when a chip goal is<br>
not a goal during normal play is if it touches the goalie then goes in<br>
the goal, WITHOUT touching any other robot in between—this includes<br>
another defender. We tried to strike a balance between encouraging<br>
teams to use chippers where it makes sense to do so, while still giving<br>
the goalie the power to defend effectively against chip goals, and the<br>
rule about the goalie catching chip kicks that go directly into the<br>
goal after touching the goalie was our way to (hopefully!) achieve that<br>
balance.<br>
