Re: Possible Strategy?
Consider the difficulties involved. First, you have to be able to shoot your two balls, then get to the bridge and tip it reliably. Then you have to gather the balls as they come down (something even the best gatherer's I've seen can't do 100%), then you have to line up and shoot at the basket, something that only 2 teams I've seen could do 100% in autonomous mode when when could perfectly line up their robot in the key. All in 15 seconds.

I think the risk of losing points is going to keep teams from trying this with their opponents bridge... but I can certainly see teams trying it with their own bridge - worst case the balls just end up on their side.
