Re: Defence on the High Goal?

Like I said earlier, 2ft-3ft stroke air cylinders are OTS from McMaster Carr. You could use an air cylinder to directly deploy a 'blocker' element.

As for spinning, I would look at a Lazy Susan bearing from AM or McMaster, and think about how I could drive it with gears or chains+sprockets.

There are about a thousand different ways to make this mechanism, you'll have to decide what's best for your team.
