You bring up a good point. If there is a defender on the goal end it will be very difficult to make the shot. Additionally, most robots will congregate in the mid field making shots much more difficult to make. However, I still believe that there will be some robots that will be able to make goals from the mid field area and these will be the robots that shine at the competition. This would require the robot to quickly control, aim, and fire the ball, which is not an easy task. If the shot is not made, at least the ball is moved from the mid field area to the goal area.
