Did anyone build an "active" goalie post?
So I threw this idea to a few teams that I worked with at the beginning, but it didn't fit with what the teams goals were. So I'm wondering, did anyone build an active goalie?
What I mean is to have a goalie pole that was mounted on either a piston or a motorized linkage that spins rapidly. This I feel should be within the rules but effectively enlarging the blocking zone by factor of 4-5x, maybe even utilize the 20inch per side beyond frame perimeter rule, and have it rotate in a 60inch diameter circle...
Did any team build anything like this? Was it effective?
