Re: Average Scores in Finals

It was neat to see 1114 and 2056 revert to using the feeding LANEs instead of tossing tubes across the field to foil would-be tube thieves from stealing their logo pieces to prevent them from forming logos.

Teams remember: you only need to steal 6 of your opponents tubes, and push them into your LANEs to prevent your opponents from making even a single LOGO. (Example: RedAlliance HPs do not throw out ANY white circles. RedAlliance ROBOTs quickly steal the white LOGO PIECES thrown out by BlueAlliance HPs, and shove them into the RedAlliance's LANEs.)

Warning: The opportunity cost of taking the PENALTY associated with entering the opponents LANE (3 pts) is worth it for all 6 LOGOs, however, for the bottom row LOGOs, you lose 3 pts in PENALTIES to gain 4 pts for a completed LOGO, yielding a +1 point gain.

My recommendation: Jam 3 of their white tubes into each of your LANEs, and then park a ROBOT in front of them.
