Re: A robot that can just gather and pass efficiently
I honestly think that if you can build a robot with a solid tank drive and a very quick pickup/passer that you can do much better than a team that shoots and only makes it in 75% of the time.
This game is all about getting as many cycles as you can, and an alliance of three robots passing and scoring on the low goal crazy fast to get 31 points is going to beat any alliance of robots trying to get the truss score, spend time chasing the ball down after the truss score, getting the ball, shooting, missing, getting the ball again, getting defended, possibly missing again and then finally making it in.
I think this is a very viable strategy for all teams, including rookies and will further help to even the playing field and force the game to come down to the strongest built and best driven robots and the best strategy between the whole alliance instead of just a few power house teams ruling the field like always.
