Our robot will be shooting from about 32inch high. Yes that is very low and it can easily be blocked. But in qualifications, i can almost guarantee teams won't block our robot that much. We can sit there all day and shoot just fine. All the other teams will be worried about shooting themselves.

Last year, we were a purely offensive robot that dumped balls in the basket. In qualifications, we didn't get blocked at all. It it really is strange how that works.

Now, in finals we will be blocked, but that is why we can shoot from anywhere on the field. We have an adjustable angle.
