If you can SUCCESSFULLY pull of a high goal block, teams WILL notice. Remember however that when placing you robots on the field in the goalie zone, the team you are defending against has the final say in where their robot goes (after your bot has been placed), so they can guarantee you are not in front of them.

So unless you can move in auton, and can accurately manage to place yourself in front of a bot to deploy your post, you might want to concentration your efforts elsewhere.

A good place to concentrate would be low goal auton, which if done reliably, would be a huge way to set yourself apart from the other inbounder-type robots. Plus it helps with your ranking!

-Good luck!
