I can easily imagine some VERY effective goalie bots making it to Einstein. A very fast drive train and really good drivers/code to track the ball could make a goalie bot quite viable. However I'd imagine theres a fine line between effective and ineffective. You can either be a goalie or you cant if your opponent knows what he's doing.
