We just had a match yesterday where we launched our slower mini-bot (1.7 seconds). It clearly hit the top, but it apparently didn't trigger...
It was frustrating for that match to swing that way, it makes me empathetic for all of the teams who have these kinds of rulings which are out of their hands.
