Scoring Question.

Is there a limit, by feet or inches, that you can be away from the corner goals when you shoot the ball?

Re: Scoring Question.

I can be glib and say yes, negative 3 inches.

You are not allowed to extend more than 3 inches into the goal mouth, or else you will interfere with the ball counter. As I recall, the penalty is death (well, robot disabled).

Re: Scoring Question.

59.9 feet.

(the diagonal dimension of the field - if you go any further, you are outside the field borders ). No, there is no maximum distance from which you can shoot for the corner goals (as long as you stay on the field).
