As it turns out, the KatsKlaw arm is very capable of pulling a ball from the stationary goal. Once it has a multiplier ball securely held, the roller-gripper design does not let go until commanded to, and the pneumatic lift on the arm gives it a lot more pulling power than you might think.

If the stationary goal does end up being taken out of commission by a well-stuffed multiplier, don't count out the mobile goal. Team 1272 was consistent in filling it to the brim and capping it. The mobile goal was never a real factor in 45's strategy, which arguably led to a few of the TechnoKats' losses.
