you must be able to travel about 9 fps to be effective with this stratigy.
If only you could have 2 robots with this strategy and one pure scoring bot. You could effectively build a wall without a need to maneuver back and forth. The odds would be against an alliance being able to get both though unless one of them actually got to pick and was ranked first.
