Re: Using ubertubes to block opponents from scoring
2815 ran a strategy like this at Peachtree. We scrapped our dumb-luck-low-row autonomous routine to ensure we didn't mess up our partners' top-row runs (1771 was camera-based, and I think 2415's was line-based).
With nothing else to do with the Ubertube, we would start our matches on the outside of the line and with the tube on the floor up against the opposing tower in an effort to slow down and frustrate their deployment efforts. Didn't mean the tubes stayed there, but they usually didn't travel too far.
During teleop, we also made a few attempts to push ubertubes away from our zone and into our opponents' side of the field (though this was a secondary effort compared to getting logo pieces moving towards us, considering the ludicrous offensive capabilities of our partners and their strong success rates with autonomous).
