Yep, Joseph is right. I think that the design committee wanted teams to actually compete and score with the spirit of Basketball in mind.

Shooting for the top would provide a better challenge than to just "dunk it in" (which is illegal and impossible to do with the fender and the 14 in extension limit, for the goals were designed not to be contacted by robots in any way NORMALLY).
