Re: Feeder Robots: Do They Exist?
Most of the high level teams at FLR, including 217 and 2056 used this strategy, fully cutting out feeder robots:

They score in auto, etc etc, and then their human players throw two sets of logos onto the field. The teams proceed to push/herd the tubes into their zones, and then hang them. They venture out into the full field only to hang their third (possibly fourth) logo. Their third alliance member then plays defence on the opposing alliance. The good teams then deploy their minibots very quickly (of course!).
