The goals are made from the poly carb rolled into a tube 8 feet long with holes that will accept pool noodles. The diamond plate forms a barrier on the sides of the ramp to keep robots from falling off. The pool noodles are color coded for each alliance.

This is the most interesting guess I've read yet. Do you have some inside knowledge?
I have none, but will add one element to your guess just to make the game concept even more outrageous: Spacing of the pool noodles is small enough that two or more of them can support another object (a football?) that must be lifted over the top rim of the clear goal-tube. Highest football scores a bonus.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
