Oh Michael, Yea of little faith. A robot pushes a goal to the human players (4) "and they load". While they load the same bot pushes the balls down firmly.
I tried it by hand and it took only a little amount of weight to seat the third ball.
The only problem is we only have three small balls but im sure it could be done.
If your team has more than three try it and let me know how it went. If we can jamb them in real good we could make life misserable for the volunteers.
18 balls is possible in the goal but FIRST will double all balls over 18 and triple any score over 20......
: However consider the time and energy as well as skill to do so. Do you really think it will be possible to do so given the time we have and the structure (durability) of the goal?
