Re: Team 578 can hurdle

That is a good point, and a big disadvantage most shooters have. Fortunately for us, though, we actually are capable of kicking the ball so that it bounces off the front of the hurdle, going upwards with less forward momentum, and landing on the overpass. We have done it 3 times in the past two days while practicing. We even had a video(!) of it, but it was sadly deleted.
Of course, it is mostly luck-based and we doubt we could do it except just as an attempt at the end of a practice match. The teams who build robots with arms are much better suited to this.
