Although we haven't tested this with a robot, from playing around with the low goal on the official field at the Manchester Kickoff, and from what I have heard from other teams, you absolutely can NOT just plan to roll the ball into the high goal. First of all, the rumors I have heard seem to all agree: it is really difficult to push the ball in front of you without some sort of device to guide the ball. And with the recent team update, a defender can now just knock the ball away from you if you aren't actively controlling it. Then, when you get to the low goal, I have found that the lip is too high to just push the ball over it. So beware of just rolling the ball into the low goal.
