Re: scoring in center goal from platform

I believe he means from right underneath his goal, on his opponent's platform. I'm sure this is legal, but there are several caveats. 1) You still have to shoot the ball. The height limit still puts the top of your bot 7" from the bottom of the goal. I dunno how they'd rule on a jumping bot, but that's a pretty big jump. 2) You're on your opponent's platform. if you end the game their, you score points for them. More importantly, they're allowed to pin you as long as they want if you're on either of the platforms.

Not saying it's a bad idea, as I'm sure accuracy skyrockets, but there are trade-offs and risks associated with it.
