Actually, we did score on the middle row at least once.
(We scored one on the middle in the 53rd qualification match because the top row was already filled)

It moves... just not very fast.
Because our arm was raised and lowered by a support attached to a screw drive, it was much more stable than the arms which had the motor at the pivot point, but it took about 10-15 seconds to go from the top row to the bottom row.
We could score much faster by not moving the arm too far from the top row.

Edit:
If I had actually looked at the bottom corner, I would have seen the second page, in which just about everything I just said was already said...
