Teams with both flatter and more curved arcs have had shots bounce out.
(Neither you nor I have attending an event yet so we are probably not the best judges of the situation.)

Regardless over design of robots, the field has a glaring fault on it in that a ball can, in some instances, fully pass throguh the goal but still bounce on the field. Everyone followed their own given rules; the team scored the ball, the referees closed the cycle and relit the can, and physics answers to (almost) no man. The field and the rules are simply incompatible in this instance. They (the GDC) can either leave the issue or fix at least one end of it.
