: How are the tops of the goals held together during the actual competition? Do you know if glue, or bolts, or screws are used?
I think they are going to use glue or some sort, maybe even just tight fit between the PVC's. Why? I think they don't want a strong connection on top, so when the goal come right down, the PVC will only disconnect instead of breaking apart. This way, they don't have to replace goals as much. All it need to do is to hold together when the big ball is up there or when robots are pushing the goal around by holding on the PVC.
