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.

have a 4-5" tube stick up to about 5' (max height). have another tube slide inside that which is a good fit (you could use small platic plates to make sure it slides nicely and use a pully system to deploy it to however high you want... (you can learn from the pink team)

If you'd like to pursue this further feel free to ask any questions!
