I would be interested to see teams that have had a chance to test this, but it seems to me that it would be really difficult to make it from anything but the front starting position at 27 feet from the goal. If you go with the 12m/s in FIRST's rule, and their discussion on being able to shoot 32 feet at the fastest speed, you really shouldnt be able to hit the goal at 30 feet away. But again, we keep getting conflicting answers with our testing and physics, so I would reserve judgement until I see a test that verifies a ball shooting at 12m/s makes it a certain distance.
