And here I think will be the downfall of most catapult bots. When I see you coming around the corner full speed intending to hurdle, why on earth wouldn't I leave my robot somewhere in that last stretch so that you have to maneuver around me or even have to bump me to get through, throwing off your practiced timings and forcing your drivers to try to compensate on when to shoot? If two robots are shooting from the same position on the field, but one is at a dead stop and the other is moving at 15 ft/sec., the trajectory of their projectiles will be far different.

The best catapult bots will have drivers who know how to use their robot coming in at any speed at any angle. The others will be launching their ball short of or into the overpass, and maybe even out of the playing field, when opposing robots begin to take up space in the home stretch.
