Re: Best full court shooter blockers

We on 3414 added a 80 inch blocker that easily goes under the 60 inches so we can do our normal scoring (averaged over 50 pts at MSC) and block full court shooters when needed.

2834 if I remember right had a good blocker that extended probably 80 or so inches only when needed as well. Seemed to work really well and they used it multiple times.

You have good memory and a good eye. Our blocker is exactly 80" tall when deployed. When stowed away, our robot can go under the pyramid. We used it effectively against tall FCS where 60" tall robots cannot block. We also do not need to be too close to the FCS so we don't get penalties.

Re: Best full court shooter blockers

Metal Moose, 1391, has an awesome blocker. Extendable netting as wide as their frame provides something that is very, very hard to shoot around.
