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

Assuming that a really good feeder slot shooter robot is shooting out from the 60" mark, the parabolic ark the disk would take is so high that only an 84" high robot will be able block it (and even then only when about 5ft or closer.)

Theoretically if the disks were to travel in a high arc so that they apexed 5-7ft above the high goal they would be impossible to block. It seems like this would result in much greater shot variation though.
