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?    |
Considering the trajectory of the ball, it could be even lower, though not by much.
During match play, since most balls will be launched from a low position, a 5' robot could position themselves in front of a launcher to stop a 10 point goal shot.
I stated in another thread that I fear the 10 point goal may become an orphan over time.
