This idea pairs well with Donuts idea:
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?
If the top 2 robots on the #1 alliance are FCAing then I could see them becoming very efficient at it. Maybe even efficient enough to resemble the scenario described by Donut.
