Very tall, and basically launched frisbees with a light lob - just enough to get them to float into the goal, allowing a slightly higher exit angle than most others I've seen. It is certainly possible to block the shots, but this requires a well constructed blocker (they can up the power to 100% and just tear through most hastily constructed blockers) and impeccable positioning. We had 1495 sit right in front of 225 several times in order to give them more horizontal distance for their shots to rise.

They also have a "stinger" that they use to anchor to the floor, so pushing them vicariously through a second robot positioned in front of them (not in the protected area) is not very effective.
