For a variety of reasons there is a chance that our 2nd year FRC team might make it to the initial event with just a drivetrain--we are hoping that we can also build an arm that can tip down the bridge so we can drive over it or maybe something better. However, for the purpose of this thread lets assume that we have a fully functional drivetrain and nothing else. How can we benefit an alliance from a strategy standpoint and what should we be doing during robot driving practice to prepare for these tasks. Please give feedback on what we could do from both sides of the field--although i understand we will be stuck on one side unless someone tips the bridge down for us. The more ideas that veteran strategist can send me the better.
