Again, I'd like to thank everyone for coming out to GTR-W, especially the Rookie teams, who I personally thought were all great robots.

Thanks to 1310 and 5076 for being great partners, and to our alliance for collaborating together to create a strategy.

My things to carry forward, which are probably very similar:

Backup Plans: Always have a backup plan ready. If someone misses a ball in Autonomous, who's going to get it? Make sure a robot is assigned to "Cleanup" duty so that there's no confusion.

If a robot is playing heavy defense, and your strategy calls for high goals, just switch to low goals. It may lower your scoring average at first, but you'll catch up in matches won through simple 1/11/21 point cycles.

Defense: Defense is ridiculously powerful in this game. Never underestimate a robot's defensive capability, even if they can't block shots. If a robot can get between you and your ball, and stay there, your entire cycle is stagnated, and you're unable to do anything until that robot is cleared.

Regarding above, always have a robot that's ready to come forward and protect the shooting robot. Even if the robot doesn't play direct pushing defense on other robots, their mere presence will be able to deter most defenders.

Fouls: There were too many games won and lost because of foul points. Make sure that your team has an expert on the rules, and make sure that they review G40 extremely carefully, and have them review the rule and practice the inbound with the human player.

That's all.

Thanks for a great regional!
