I saw two teams try to do that. Neither were able to budge 469. A couple teams tried to ram the tower just as the ball left the return ramp. That worked to some extent, but the timing had to be perfect. The main problem in the elim matches is when 469 is paired up with a fast maneuverable shooter like 217 it doesn't really matter if they make the goal or not. If the opposing alliance is keeping 469's "shots" from going in, then the other bot has a field day scoring all the stray balls unopposed. If you try to defend against 217, then 469 destroys you! You have to block 469 from the tunnel in auton or your done if they have a good scorer on their team.
