Re: Shooting full-court: The uprising of the human-loader shooters

A question on this since I didn't make it out to a scrimmage; how tall are most of these robots? Are most of the full court shooters already coming out around 60", so a team would need to raise up to block them? Or could a tall robot just park in front of them to block shots like this?

I still question how much this will happen in competition until I see it in week 1 (you know, defense and all), but I'd like to start brainstorming on an extension mechanism for our robot now after build ends rather than Friday of the regional if it's needed.
