Re: scoring in center goal from platform

I find it funny that people are dismissing doing this quickly cause you don't have the height to jump. (What's up with that?)

7" is a lot less to worry about shooting to then a 15-20' shot from quarter field accurately.

Hasn't anyone ever heard of a finger roll?

Get on ramp, if someone traps you against the wall, who cares, they can't hover over you if you are max height.

Shoot with backspin much slower than 12m/s to prevent penalties and get ball(s) in goal.

I think this is a great strategy, and something even a rookie team can do once they figure out how to gather balls effectively, and make a nice release system with some backspin.

I see this being the 2nd simplest of robot designs, and only one step up from a herder/lower goal scorer.

The most challenging part (and testing with my team tonight proves this real easy even to just do that) will be to actually get on the platform.
