1. Build a robot with a intake that was tall enough and wide enough to cover the whole feeder station opening.

2. Have your alliance make 7+ shots in hybrid mode. These all have to go in; if they don't additional balls have to be shot in during Tele-Op.

3. Immediately park your robot in front of the opposing alliance's feeder station.

4. Continuously shoot 3 pointers.

Because of the 6 ball holding limit; the Inbounders would have to throw at least 1 ball into your robot, since they can't throw it any where else. Once you score that ball they have to throw another one into your robot. Thus creating a constant scoring machine, much like the one 469 had in Breakaway.

In a regular season event this strategy only works until the opposing alliance comes to your side of the field and hits you; as you are in their lane. However, if IRI announces that they are removing lanes, I'm going to force my team to redesign our robot .

Gaffer's Tape in a semi-circle tangent to the top of the key like on a real college/high school/elementary court. Beyond that line, every ball shot has an additional 2 points added to the original score only in teleop.
Great idea, although I'd prefer an additional 1 point.
