Only if you are talking about driving onto the other teams robot. Many good robots will be releasing the ball from a high position, or have an arch that makes it physically impossible to block their shots. Remember also that robots are essentially protected from contact while any part of their bumper crosses the plane of the outerworks. So these robots could shoot from the outerworks and there really isn't anything that could be done to block their shots.

You know, almost all of these robot reveals seem to be setting a low bar for the competition. We can all take solace in that.

Team 217 chiming in to join this group! We have been having some great success with a tall bot!

We were 2nd overall pick at the Buckeye Regional (but unfortunately our RoboRio became extremely damaged during our second quarterfinal match). We did manage to score (I believe) 7 high goals in one match! We also scored 70 points individually in another!

Go #TeamTall!

Staying strong in these times of change as we are also a Vertically challenged robot (in a good way). We make limbo obsolete.

Here's our entry to this Support Group I started... a pretty-tall 2016 KNIGHTmare...

APOLOGIES for the messy shop-area, I usually run a much tighter ship but we were _cranking_ to finish TWO twin bots _before_ Bag/Tag Day... a _first_ for us...

Any comments or input are welcome... we're busy iterating on the practice bot for the next two weeks... expecting to show _more_ at Alamo...

CONGRATS to the Bronc Botz student team members... I'm a proud coach... ;-)

Should reports on successful low-bar challenged robots be posted here to cheer up the support group, or do they deserve their own thread?

Team 1876 BeachBotics just scored 2 high goals and scaled in a dominant performance during their first Week 0.5 match at Palmetto. Or at least I think it was their very tall robot...livestream was a little fuzzy.
