Looking further at the restraints of the balls, meaning they can only enter 3" into your robot frame, they can't leave the ground, you can't leave the robot frame except for a couple of seconds to extend into the bumper frame. I don't see many robots with the ability to consistently score from the middle. I think the more successful machines will be making accurate, and quick goals from the closest area.

This sounds logical to me but then again with the existence of the "bumps" that short throw of an extension could lead to some ball air time
. I'm glad that there are quite a few dimensions to the game that allow a greater engineering diversity for all levels of experience to excel in certain areas as well as the game field itself being less planar than the past couple years.
