I was referring to my own team only. We definitely have a similar arc to Odin's shots if you look at the first thread I started in the Robot Showcase forum of our shooting tests from the outer works. As for the teams who plan to have straight shots from the outer works, I agree that they may have trouble with a blocker, provided that their shooter height is low enough to the floor, which may depend most on the height of the robot. This is assuming a taller robot will shoot from the very top of their superstructure as opposed to the middle or bottom, and such a height and angle must be determined by a straight shooter.

Cheesecake, anyone?
