Especially since teleop scoring is the 4th order sort for seeding, I could see this being employed on A,C,G, and N - not just Einstein. A strategy-minded, quick-balancing rookie could make a lot of noise this way.
It's an interesting concept, but only a very select few robots would be able to pull off a bridge-hoarding strategy. How many bots are even setup to be able to place balls onto a bridge? Even if the hoarding is a success, wouldn't it eventually necessitate even more time for a bridge balance in order to clear the balls off the bridge first?
