Re: Using Discs to Block Full Court Shooters

Interesting idea. The rules limit the FCS to 60", however, so any 84" tall robot should be able to block of its own accord. There are very few disc flight paths that will pass over the blocker and still make a goal. If launched at the steepness of angle required to go over the blocker, a disc will reverse direction once it drifts back down.

Unless the FCS was a "hammer-bot"....
