While this is true, I believe it will be very hard to do. Bumpers are 2 1/2" wide (maybe up to 3") and you cannot have your wheels in the OUTER WORKS. I see many penalties for "shooting from the OUTER WORKS" while attempting this maneuver (even if you score in the upper goal it's an equivalent 0 points and 0 tower reduction during teleop).
