Shooting into High Goal Distance

[viveksridhar]

Hi everyone,

The high goal is right in the middle of the field, and the distance from the goal wall to the other alliance pyramid is about 6 feet.

I was wondering, are other teams planning to score from within 6 feet, directly in front of the high goal? Or are you planning to score from the side of the pyramid, at an angle to the goal, so you can have a greater distance? If so, will it be significantly harder to score because you're shooting from an angle?

The reason is, our shooter currently scores reliably from 26 feet away, but I think that's infeasible during the competition because the pyramid would likely get in the way, and I calculated that the shooter angle would have to be about 60 degrees to make it to the high goal from within 6 feet, which is really high.

Any suggestions/strategies?

Thanks,
