Just kidding, but there's nothing new about that strategy. Those are really the only 3 'lanes' any bot can actually take. Either push through the direct route to the feeder, go all the way around the pyramid, or go under the opposing pyramid (though this option is usually closed to the taller bots.).

As a drive coach, I would add doing an Ollie off the bottom rung of the pyramid on the way up and then dumping with a glitter cannon that shoots the frisbees out gloriously all while doing jazz hands lol
Seriously, though, being able to go under pyramids is a big advantage, but defending against tall robots has also been tough because at one event we were told that if we (a defensive robot) pushed an opponent into our own pyramid, we would be called for a foul.
