I know the camera is phenomenal but I'm unsure if it will do things like look up and down and such in order to adjust to varying distances from the goals
It has a servo motor in the base to tilt, but that is not intended for frequent use and will burn out if you run it too much. You are better off using an external servo motor to tilt the camera.
