While not immobile in the literal sense of the word, 469 in 2010 and 71 in 2002 were very close to it since driving around the field was not part of their strategy (71 did not have the ability to turn that year, only drive forward/reverse).


Really the title of this thread should be "Where do you think you are going to try to hang?" because there is no way that more teams will climb to the 30 point level than the 10 point level. I'll be curious how many teams even have a mechanism to attempt a 30 point climb at the end of build, let alone one that actually works well.
