Lightbulb Re: Defence on the High Goal?

The top of the goal is about 10ft high but the center of the goal is about 8ft high. The ball is 2ft and the goal opening is 3ft 1in. the 1in makes me laugh.
Anyways, Do the math, to block a high goal shot you only need a 3ft extrusion for a 5 ft robot of course. That sound more do able. Through my experience last years game clarified the vertical cylinder rule for climbing the pyramid, right? if the contact with the ball rocks the whole robot the vertical cylinder should rock with it to, right?
