Re: Ball bouncing out of the high Goal
I wish FIRST had modified the goals to reduce or eliminate bounce-outs early in the season. I think it is a bit late to do it now. Although the definition of a "scored boulder" addresses bounce-outs, I really hope that FIRST didn't intend to see this many. In an ideal world, you get credit for putting the boulder in the goal and not just for doing it with some preferred trajectory.
We have struggled with bounce-outs, but of a different sort. We shoot a high angle shot from the batter (like a lot of other teams), and unless we hit the top of the window, the backspin on the ball makes it roll down the chains, bounce off the framing at the bottom of the angled face of the castle, and then out.
