Re: Shooting full court?

well, see unlike game pieces in the past, like last year for example, you don't really have to arc a frisbee, which generally fly straight as an arrow. That being said, a robot can only extend to 84" in their own auto zone and when contacting the pyramid, so being that the blue team's feeder station would be in the red team's auto zone, a robot who's goal is solely to shoot full court shots is very un likely as a defensive robot for the red team would have the height advantage even though it may not be touching the blue robot. Not to mention that from the drawings, it appears that the pyramid will essentially block the high and middle goals on the walls, and the only straight shot would be for the low goal directly ahead from the load zone for blue. Having a large margin for error and the fact that you will most likely only be able to score 1 pt. goals will probably deter teams from employing such a strategy. However, I do feel one strategy to be weary of is a team that would solely drive up to the loading station, get the colored frisbees and take 4 of them with them on the pyramid as they climb. basically, i feel a robot aimed solely at climbing is more likely even though it may only be active for the last 30 seconds of the match, it may play defense for the other time remaining. So, long story short, i feel you wouldn't have to worry if you are playing against a team that decides to do that,
