We are going to see a lot of boring matches at regionals early on.
If you're not doing anything, you're doing something wrong. Play some defense! All you need to do is block an opposing robot from getting where it needs to go, even if it's not holding the ball, and you've done a lot of good for your alliance.

Another observation: Catching the ball is, in most cases, more trouble than it's worth. Note that there's no restriction on playing defense against a robot lining up to catch a ball... just make sure you don't catch it yourself!
