Your "pong blocker" can only block 38.9% of the opponents scoring area at any given time. Just food for thought.

On top of that, you (IFB662) are assuming that all of your opponents are slower than you, and less maneuverable than you. You'd best make sure that d-bot will be as effective as all get-out.

On top of that, that wall will take a pounding, so it needs to be strong, and that requires thickness. You won't be quite able to utilize the full 84" diameter circle due to the thickness.
