I don't think this is possible because, like last year, the ball chutes are "one-way" only. However, in response to the original message, I think that accuracy is a little more important than height because not all teams will be able to tilt the goal against the glass.

FYI, however, even someone who is about 5'6/7 can deposit the balls over the 7' glass (imho)

Last year, we had two human players. One was like 4'10" with pretty good accuracy to the goals, and one was like 5'9" (and yes the tallest person on our team), who was used to deposit balls into the robot.

Just my personal thoughts...
