Re: Stopping a Triple Balance
I have not yet come up with a way to stop a triple balance. However there might be other ways to work around this strategy.

Lets say in autonomous mode both teams get nearly the same amount of points. Once teleop starts, i noticed that if you ball starve the other alliance by having one robot continuously shooting balls into their zone while the other one or two robots score repeatedly. This works very well because this forces the other alliance that can triple balance to have a much lower score. This means you will be by far ahead going into the balancing stage. This makes up for the 20 points between their triple balance and your double balance.

Just my thoughts.
