We finally had a run through of the game one alliance only using the real ball and team members acting as robots. They were constrained to handle the ball with one hand only. If they wanted to shoot, they had to do backwards over their heads. Robot movement was only on their knees, so it was slow. I think they learned a lot more about the game than dry reading the rules. They probably have more to learn, I know I do. At the end of the exercise, we asked them to imagine what an opposing alliance might have done to them. Absolutely nothing better than getting the grey matter percolating.
