Re: Crazy robot idea for this year 2

Rather than making the entire robot fit in the hoop, why not mount a large fan/turbine on the robot. Aiming this at the backboard of the opponents hoops with enough air velocity could make it impossible to score (the upward air speed would have to be greater than the terminal speed of the ball to ensure this) A leaf blower powered by a pair of 500 series motors could probably accomplish this.
