Re: How viable is full court Assisting?
If you have the 'perfect' alliance pairing, I'm not sure why defense has to matter much at all.

Maybe some missed it in the initial game analysis, but if I am Red alliance there are 4 spots in the red zone I can park my robot where defense cannot move or block me. If I have a catching device, and the 'perfect' full court assist partner is parked in the parallel location in the blue zone, then that's game. Our 3rd alliance partner can play defense on Blue alliance or can park in front of the FCA in case someone is tall enough to attempt a block in front of it.

If none of the robots have to move to complete a cycle, can our alliance break 300 in a match?
