So a robot that can shoot 15 feet should be totally fine.
Well people will probably want to shoot the 21 foot shot, maybe even a little further, depending on where the boulder sits in their shooter. If their bumper is in the outer works plane, they can't be touched. Rendering bot-bot defense useless is super important.
