That's what I meant by knowing its orientation.
Although, even if you didn't know its exact orientation, you could still use it for some goal decisions.
The puck is 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. So, if you know the location of the exact centre of the puck, you would also know that if the centre is more than 1.5" behind the goal line, it must be a goal, regardless of its orientation; and if the centre is less than 0.5" behind the goal line, it can't be a goal, regardless of its orientation. It wouldn't solve every problem situation, but it would get a fair number of them.
Knowing the puck's exact position and exact orientation is the ideal, but even baby steps to get there will help.
