Even a cheap, very lightweight pvc pole or two fixed at 10-12" apart and 60" high can shut down a long shooter extremely well while still giving a bot full field access. Installed for inspection, the "apparatus" could be used (or not) depending on the opponents faced in each upcoming match. Any marginally offensive robot or defensive robot should at least consider the option.
