Ditto for us (more like 26 probably). It works out for blocking because you want to shoot at something close to 60 degrees anyway, which puts the shot to 60 inches above the ground within 6 inches of your bumper, and we figured no one would want to get that close (if they do, we're in the key and have every right to touch them when wrestling for position). It keeps the CG low, ball storage smaller (exactly 3 balls), the robot lighter, and things a bit simpler.
