It's a hard strategy to counter. If you camp a robot in the corner before we get there (IE: 1024 in Palmetto) then we can drive to the other corner or just sit in front of you. If you devote two robots to camping both corners well then you don't have much offense left to play.

Ramming us continuously was half working at NC but we have a solution for that.

Your confused look is the same as ours though. What is even more perplexing to us is the lack of teams doing this same strategy at other regional events. We know that there are two or three others that can do it but aren't regularly.

Ideally, we could literally park in front of the opponent's goal and then shoot straight to the other 1 pt goal and have another robot put it in without any human players being present. It's hard to wedge us out of the corner once we are in it too.
