I personally think that it is impossible to score from the key consistently without some sort of camera targeting but I would very much like to see someone prove me wrong.
I think this would actually be easily possible, but not in the key. My theory is that a robot would have to use the bridge and the wall, the divider and the bridge, or a corner like that. That way, they can easily align themselves everytime and used a fixed angle and speed to consistently score.
