Re: 3-team offense
On Thursday (Practice day) at the St. Louis Regional, 1985, 1178, and I think it was 1329 (memory not quite clear, even though I was a driver) were all on one alliance. Our score was 114* (one minibot deployed, the other didn't**) and had filled the top and middle racks. One strategy used later on in the competition was if all 3 robots could place, you divided it so each robot only went for 2 pegs (side by side). That way, robots didn't get in each others' way and you knew which tubes you needed.


* The highest score at St. Louis, too bad it was not during a qualification or elimination, and therefore did not count
** If the other had deployed, it would have been a huge win (I am slightly disappointed with our success (read: no successful deployments) of getting our minibot off our robot)
