Yeah. I am
quite sure that any time your robot violiates the hight rule of 5' you get a penalty. But I'm not with NASA or anything, so don't take my word for it.
Also the angle from which you have to fire would be disadvantageous maybe.
Plus, if your robot is five feet tall all the time, and you go up a 30 degree incline, there's a good chance that you will topple over.
If you had some mechanism that extended, then you have to wait for it to extend.
Additionally, you have to convey the balls up to the top somehow.
Sorry to be so discouraging here. There are some great things about this idea, it's just that there are some disadvantages that maybe if you wanted to do this you would need to focus on working around.
