We've found a few tricks for slowing down 2 opposing pyramid cyclers...on one occasion helping to upset an alliance that had two awesome teams that are on the FRC Top 25. In the two regionals we've won this year we were allied with a pyramid cycler, a full court shooter, and us playing defense. I think that would be our ideal combo, but I'm curious to see the dynamics of other combinations as well.
