Spider peg, spider peg; does whatever a spider peg does!
...in all seriousness, last year's game lent itself to 'doffensive' strategy -- controlling the middle zone meant both more points for you and ball starvation for your opponent. We used that idea in conjunction with hanging points to guarantee a win in all but one of our qualification matches at FLR (and 469 did it so much better than we even dreamed of...)
This year's game seems to be almost as clear-cut in terms of strategy as compared to last year:
"If you don't stop us, we outscore you like crazy and win a bazillion to nothing. If you do stop us, then we stop you, too, and then win on the endgame anyway."
The difference is in the scoring, of course, and I think this strategy is a bit harder to implement with how the game is set up.
I just hope that our minibot is as consistent as our hanger was!

Me, too.
