It's a relatively easy to build goal, small field and most teams probably have a robot currently build that can lift a tube. You could even use RnR tubes, it wouldn't make that big of a difference.

I know I won't be at Battlecry, but c'mon who actually wants to see 99 again??
And besides where would you even get a floppy?
I'm pretty sure that intentional tipping was already illegal in 1997. 1995 (Ramp and Roll) got it eliminated, or so I hear (if my hearing and memory both work right).

And, as for the floppies, you take two appropriately sized disks of the right fabric, sew them together, add the velcro, and then stuff them full of foam peanuts. The puck's harder, but still highly doable.

Don't forget to have a placebo! (A 2009 robot would work.)
