Did everyone here even watch the game animation, let alone read the rulebook? I mean, seriously, some of the things I've been reading....
I think the argument is that a 6" wide blocker trying to defend 22 feet of goal is pointless. There's no way your robot can drive 12 feet in the time it takes the shooter to rotate thirty degrees.

A defense bot would be best served by ignoring the 6" extension and building an excellent drive train.
