Looking back on our experiences this season... We actually had more success involving low capability robots in the offensive part of the game than we ever have had in the past. You'll see several examples of wall press assists that are closely controlled by our robot in the following GoPro Montage. You'll also see some shots of us directly spitting into another robot. Sometimes we refer to the robot as the "Mother Bird" regurgitating worms for the youngins.
All in all, I think this game has done an excellent job of asking alliance partners to work together. There is still plenty of luck in the alliance pairings, but as long as a robot can drive, we found a way to use them.
