Our robot had one of the worst gate latch bungee shooters that year. i.e. it sucked. We spent 90% of the time pushing balls into the goals.
If you played defense on us, we still tried to push the balls into the goals regardless if you were in the way or not. On several of them, we pushed a robot and the ball into the goal simultaneously.

If a robot is small enough to fit into the low goal, you can be sure that someone is going to stuff them in there at various regional events in the act of trying to score.
Do you have any video recordings of this? Must be an interesting watch...
