I agree. I've ranked the main strategies I've seen by level of how difficult they
appear to be.
1. 3 shooters (Offensive Option)
This requires timing and strategy, you can't have 3 robots all trying to fire simultaneously. Optimally there'd be 1 robot shooting, 1 robot lining up/getting into position, and 1 robot collecting balls at any given moment.
Difficult, but not impossible.
2. "Full Court Press" - 1 shooter, 2 feeders (Defensive Option)
This was a strategy that we deployed during the Newton eliminations, coined by 330/639. Essentially you have 2 robots on the opposing side of the field feeding one main shooter on your side of the field. This keeps the balls away from your opponents and on your side of the field.
Medium, Greatly increases your chance of getting penalties due to defense.
3. 1 feeder 2 shooters (Offensive Option)
This strategy was used quite often during eliminations. It allowed you to almost always having a robot trying to score, and keeps some of the balls away from your opponents.
Easy, Less timing then #1 and less chance of penalties then #2.
Thoughts?
