Re: Playing a different game on Einstein

My vision would be this: a systematic combination of accurately throwing tubes and picking up tubes from the feeding lane. I think by the time we get to Einstein you should see great tube throwing human players, especially when it comes to throwing the circle. I think at the very least the circle will be thrown into the alliances safe zone consistantly enough that teams will be able to time this to where they will hang a triangle or square and the circle will coviently be waiting next to them to score. As far as picking tubes up from the lane, you probably wont see a lot of teams going all the way to the far end of the lane to be hand fed, these robots will be too good at floor pickup for that. So you will probably see the human players putting the tubes at the end of those lanes.

That is all assuming you do not have a good defensive bot or feeder bot, which I think you will see both of those on Einstein as well. I would both hate and love to see a wall bot but I think you will see one of those as well
