Re: Other strategies for Logo Motion
Tube feeding was a rather underused strategy at many events. When we lost our arm before our first qual match at WPI, we used our drive base to funnel tubes to 40 in order to make it easier for them to put up points. This worked fairly well.
Tube passing was something we specifically scouted for, as we thought it would be a quality great in a second round pick, but I was disappointed to see few teams doing it at our events.
Tube starvation is the natural extension of this strategy at high level play, which was the primary way offensively disadvantaged alliances would play to level the field. This was normally successful enough to bring the match victory down to minibots, as long as you were competitive enough to get the top row. The #1 alliance attempted this strategy at WPI, and did quite a good job, but they just couldn't keep up with 40's alliance which specialized in quick, efficient scoring.
