As did most alliances at GKC, but even a 4'6" vision-blocking blocker wasn't bad if a team had practiced against one. If a blocker were to be a problem, I see no reason that a 15 inch robot couldn't find some a method to, say, see over that blocker. It'd be awfully hard to stop a bot that could always see over and shoot over a defender from the safety of the outer works.
