Re: Goal Tending Robot
A good point on using the pyramid as a defensive object. In order for a goal tending strategy to work it will depend heavily on getting to the other robot before they reach their safe zones. The way I interpret the rules on pyramid penalties is in order to receive a penalty the other robot has to be in contact with its pyramid. So the distance you have to stay stay away is not that great.

A. contacting its pyramid
B. touching the carpet in its loading zone.
