From 3.1.4 Scoring in the game manual:

A BALL is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if
A. a ROBOT causes one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S BALLS to cross completely through the opening(s) of one (1) of
their ALLIANCE’S GOALS and into the opposing ALLIANCE STATION without intervening human contact,
B. the ALLIANCE ROBOT last in contact with the BALL was entirely between the TRUSS and their ALLIANCE’S HIGH GOALS, and
C. the BALL is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE.

Based on B you cannot shoot from the goalie zone opposite your teams' goals

Which wasn't the question.

Let me put it this way: There is no restriction on going anywhere on the field you want to (given that you're under 5' in height, and the laws of physics). However, for a shot to get points, as coolcade pointed out, you have to be between the truss and your target goals to score.

As for the size of the goalie zone, I think some looking at the field drawings will show the size to be about 2.5' wide (give or take a bit, I'm going from memory and I remember seeing a couple of different numbers). Basically, anything between your targeted low goals is goalie zone.

I believe the op is asking if you can shoot from the goal zone underneath the goals you are shooting into?... "the goalie zone on the same side as are (sp..our) goal we are shooting for". Good luck with the geometry and height limit

I'm thinking he means the opponent goalie zone, right in front of their alliance's goal. If that's the case, then yes, that'd be legal, as it is between the truss and the alliance's high goal. Make sure to be specific with rules questions.

EDIT: Looks like I was a little late to the punch. JB987 had him covered.

Animal Control,
In the future, try to use a more descriptive title for your thread. "Game 2014" is not a fitting title for this question.
