If you guys or any other robot doing this strategy (I only know of 3 teams doing it including your team) gets paired with the top scorer, 1pt or 10pt doesn't matter, at a regional things will get crazy. You guys can get the ball from the pedestal to human player in under 10 seconds and the top scorer at a regional should be able to get the ball into a goal within 7-10 seconds regardless of defense. This means 21 or 30 pt cycles in under 20 seconds. This equates to between 147 and 210pts in teleop alone. Factor in a max auton and you are looking at almost 300pts in a match. This also allows for the third robot to play counter defense, defense, or if it's compatible with the top scorer it could add a quick 3rd assist but I don't see this happening until elims.
