In fact, the maximum distance your robot COULD extend (assuming it grabs both side poles on the exact edge of the robot, without even considering bumpers) is 84 inches. 7 feet out. Looking at how the balls roll out of the chute, the opponent's ball lands at about a quarter way into the zone, 4 more feet away from where you need to be. In fact, your robot may be in such a position where it stops the ball from bouncing into your own zone.
