Re: Tube starvation/stealing

We used this strategy in NJ and I know Max would probably say that tube starvation is very effective. It pretty much took us all the way to the finals when we relied on our minibots on our alliance to win. It was a great strategy up until when we played 1676 and 2016 and had a difficult time keeping up.

If the strategy is executed right, you could really win some matches. Although, it will not be like a week 1 where minibots can only be the deciding factor. The team needs to put up the right amount of tubes before considering the minibot to be a factor.

EDIT: Mike beat me to it above haha.
