I say somewhat, because if you're touching that loading station carpet, you're untouchable, and if you design your shooter right at the top of your 60" envelope, you may be able to get enough rise out of your frisbees to clear an 84" robot just a few inches away.
That is very true! If your robot is not high enough, other robots could defend you at the loading station. Our robot (as of now) is only going to be 28inch tall. So we might have that problem. If so, we will just pick frisbee's off the ground and score at the 3rd goal.
