I saw the hook of the cane blocking teams from accessing the tower from the narrow slot, and then blocking a good portion of the lane.

So if you were able to keep a robot to 1 logo, and then handicap their deployment, it may boost your value significantly
Until you get red carded when robots slam into you and your "wings" end up touching their tower.
