Now, you may not have had anyone that set anything up to be able to block you, but I guarantee it could have been done.

Having said that, congratulations on your win. Looks like you guys put up some great scores.

Unfortunately Jaxom, ill have to agree with Eric H. If you have the time to see, a way to beat the 84 inch tall blocker robots is to do exactly what 326 did, the super blah blah blah eagles. They have a rectangular robot with the shooter being parallel with the longer side. It is also near the back of their robot. This allows them to have the end height of their robot to be much higher than the standard shooter. This also makes it harder to block them because of the way their robot is built that you have to stay farther away from them to not incur penalties for touching them in their zone.

They were at Kettering, and while i don't think it turned out as well as they had wished is had for them, their robot is much more difficult to block them let's say 910 which is Foley Freeze.

I just wanted to input what i had seen at the Kettering District in accordance to what you said.
