Essentially 125 spent the majority of the match in the alliance lane. They would take three balls from the HP into their open hopper, drive forward a bit, and shoot them right around the key area. They would rinse and repeat this strategy, also picking up balls off the floor on occasion, until the field was starved.

It made a lot of sense. Because they were in the lane, they couldn't be defended, and they had free reign to stray balls that landed in it. Even a 75% accurate human player would still be giving too many free points to an alliance, when you could be getting guaranteed feeds via 125. It was a great strategic change for IRI.
