Are there any teams out there that are dedicated goalies or are considering to have a goalie strategy in their back pocket? Particularly any auton goalies that are willing to share their secrets.

As one of the group that decided to pick 4854 for our alliance, we where hoping to get a block during Auto, but no luck. Although they did get close. More time and thoughts we might have been able to get blocks during autonomous. Time to better calibrate I think we could have had them blocking shots. If we could it could have really swung the matches.
Most of the time they had good driving to shut down 33. We had watched them in multiple matches drive very well and shut down a team and even alliance. With one ball out there, if a driver plays well it can really slow down an alliance. Its unfortunate for us in those matches that both us and alliance partners died a few times. I think a lot of people where surprised by the pick (Ranked 37 of 40) but after watching realized why we made the pick.
