I'm not trying to take anything away from your team. We haven't been able to make that shot(yet) and it was a goal of our prototyping. It is a valid strategy and if you can make it unblock-able and add in a decent climber, you will have a championship caliber robot.

@ RoundTabler
As for blocking the shot you can only be 60 in tall in your feeder zone while defensive robots can be 84 inches tall. The angle to make the shot from 60 in tall is easily blockable from several feet away if I'm 84 in tall. That is why it is easy to block.

Are all teams going to be able to get to 84 in tall? Absolutely not.

But I can also play smart defense and get in your way to prevent you from getting to your feeder station for as long as possible.

There is no wrong way(within the rules) to play these games as long as you can stand behind your decision and be proud of what you've done other peoples opinions(including mine) mean nothing.

good luck this year.
