Defending the bounce pass

It is indeed higher however I said this because my team was very successful at getting the ball over the bridge by bouncing it. We had about a 5% fail ratio.

Were they standing behind the starting line 4 feet from the wall when they did it ? Rule G33

I think a lot of the defensive capability of the defending robot depends on the shooting trajectory of the offensive/passing robot.

ALL top tier teams with a practice field will be making these consistently. I say this based on personal experience with the field set up in the legal configuration.
