Hey guys. This is my first post, so I'm sorry if I do anything wrong. This is my year competing in a FIRST robotics tournament. It was honestly the most fun I have ever had. I am honestly more excited for the Las Vegas regional than I am for my bday, which is a few days before it. Here are my thoughts on the strategy for rebound rumble. Anyone want to discuss them?
-Lets be honest, the ridges are not a smart thing to traverse. Time is of the essence, so unless you are playing defense, going to other side is pretty pointless. Feeding balls is a decent strategy, but based on my experience it is highly inefficient. Our robot was seeded #2 in San Diego, because we played solid defense, and could balance consistently (we got cooperation almost every time, and even got a few triple balances under our belt). The shave a few seconds off if you are trying to retrieve balls to shoot, but that just entire strategy just wastes a lot of time in general.
-As I touched on before, trying to go to the other side to feed balls isn't very effective. I saw people bouncing balls to their side without too much trouble... so yeah. not too much to say
-The ideal team: One great shooter, one solid shooter that can balance, one defense robot that is really good a balancing.
that is all I have for now. Thanks for reading
