We thought about a high goal blocker but couldn't figure out how build one that would collapse to maintain our low CG and wouldn't deflect outside the 6" column while deployed when hit with a ball. We thought double scissor lift would work maybe. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. We thought I'd be too easy to counter in teleop, so it would only be effective in autonomous. Maybe it would work if you placed the bot in the middle of the goalie zone and used the slider on the driver station I/O to tell the robot how far left or right to move to be in the way of a shooter. Anyway, just a thought.
