The video is a very rough outline of the game and should not be used for any rule judgments.

Read through the Autonomous Rules section. If there isn't a rule disallowing it, then you can do it.

As far as getting closer to the target, it is best to not make assumptions. Look at this from the robot's point of view, and think about the path of your projectile and the perceived size of the target (for example, with your target being an opening in a plane, the target's perceived size is largest when the vector between the robot and the opening is perpendicular to the plane, and the target appears smallest when you are located on that plane). If you are making a decision you should always have a reason to back it up.
