330 used this a lot, particularly in a couple matches where there was a jam in the shooter. Slurp, slurp, return to barrier and unload to partner, or cross and put up 3s.

That was 4334's entire strategy. And they did it very effectively while also making it possible to triple with 2 long partners. Sure they didn't win a regional... but being that they went to a 1114/2056 regional, and were beaten by them in the semi's, I'd say they were very effective.

I think the difference is, did you design your robot specifically to do this? It was a necessary strategy so many teams could do it, but Bomb Squad was specifically set up with swerve drive and a front loader that cleared the barrier without activation so they could outmaneuver the opponents and clear the floor faster than anyone else.

I was surprised to see that an effective strategy though much of Newton Elims was 2 defending, one shooting. If you watch the videos, you'll see that the 548 alliance realized this and began using feeder slot scoring exclusively to reduce the effectiveness of 330's "slurp slurp unload" strategy.
