Robot structures, shooting mechanisms, ball containment systems, etc. that may intermittently occlude the view of an opponent while the robot is shooting at the target or otherwise engaged in normal game play while on an Alliance Platform are permitted and to be expected.
That was in the Q&A about distracting with the robot, the bolded should apply to the balls fired at a plexiglass window as well though.
