The fender is 38-3/4 in deep. Add on 3 in of bumpers in the way. The hoops have an ID of 18 in. The hoops are 6 in away from the backboard, and the backboard is 1/2 in thick. Factor in a 14 in reach and you get:
38-3/4 + 3 - 18 - 6 - 1/2 - 14 = 3-1/4 in gap between the rim and the edge of the fender.
This is reasonably close enough to drop ball into the hoop, as long as the robot is high enough to reach the hoop.
