we saw the balls bouncing back out of the center goal as part of the challenge. we realized that we needed to make the robot able to shoot off center of the goal. this allows the balls to hit the back of the goal at an angle and stay in the goal. that kind of the problem is just part of the challenge of the game, not poor planning/testing by FIRST.
