Re: What did we learn from week 2 of the 2013 season?

In Oregon it was apparent that full-court shooters really complemented strong pyramid shooters because they require 2 defensive robots to really hinder their scoring. 955 was one of the best pyramid shooters at the regional, and when they teamed up with 2471 (who was making loads of full-court shots), the opposing alliances would've needed 1 robot just to block the full-court, and another to do anything about the pyramid shooter.

It's similar to how people have talked about dedicated 30-point climbers as making matches 3-on-2. Strategies like 30-point climbing and full-court shooting really change the complexion of the match.
