I suppose it'd have to be a game-time decision as to whether to take the risk; on the one hand you may be able to score your entire hopper in the last 20 seconds to negate the super cells. On the other hand, teams may start pinning bots that hoard game pieces, as was seen in 2005.
Hmmmm.

I'm expecting the super cells to have little impact in most matches. Given the fixed, predictable time frame for scoring them, you should be able to dodge them. That is, unless you've allowed yourself to be pinned near an opponent's FUELING STATION or whatever. But if you've allowed that to happen, you're probably behind on points from moon rocks being dumped into your trailer anyways. |
