Basically it's a grappling hook, but you're depositing the hook rather than treating it like a projectile. Something to think about...

I am not worried about only having one try. With the 20 second time limit, I don't think that you would have time to reload, launch, and lift after missing the first time. Plus a grappling hook could be very reliable if fired behind the bar and banked off of the angle at the bottom of the low goals.
