Don't be so sure. As others have said, there is no reason that a properly built thrower can't also place on the overpass and knock down balls... and what if the release point is at 5 ft?

Another bot would have an awfully hard time getting in the way to start with, and then the 10lbs + momentum of the ball would be impacting the blocking robot 6ft in the air or so. I smell tipsy robots.
