Re: Goalie Bots

I'm personally surprised to not see these goalies have tails and utilize the 20" extension. One of the worst things about a penalty shot in soccer is you have to stay on the line. In our case as long as your in contact with your carpet you could move much further into the playing field, thus cutting down the angles on the shot. If designed right, your blocker could be as far as 3 ft from the goalie line.

If you are blocking the front and top, not only is the side open, you also probably are out of the goalie zone and you're leaving the ten point wide open. If you block the side and top, you leave the front open as well as the section of the goal above the 1 point goal open.
I don't follow. Couldn't you just have a cover (like 3 sides of a cube), that you put over the goal. If the cover was 20" x 20" x 20", I don't think anyone would be scoring on that lower goal.
