We have yet to complete testing while using the carbon fiber, but it appears to be giving us an additional 4"-6" in height and about 2' in distance, which is significant as far as we are concerned.

During testing we discovered that the follow through on the kick was very important, and the little bit of extra given by the follow through is definitely what is needed.

As for staying within the perimeter, we will not be violating the 2" rule, and we will only be outside the perimeter confines of the robot for a fraction of a second, so we will be good to go!
