2033: Rapid Relay - Ball stuck in the switch mecanism

<SC4> What is the course of action if a ball is stuck in the switch mecanism. We have seen the ball balance on the frame of the goal without dropping into the collection area. Is it left to balance?

Thanks for any clarification on this issue.

If a Ball becomes stuck in a Switch mechanism, it should be cleared by a Robot as part of game play and should not be manually adjusted by a referee or Drive Team Member.
