btw the Kicker is indeed a real Challenge!
I'm seeing more teams realizing the importance of a variable force kicker.
Been looking for signs that someone is contemplating an 'aim-able' kicker but nothing yet.
I guess most teams are thinking a nimble bot will do in place of a directional kicker.
I haven't given up yet though, there's still time.
