we would never deploy a strategy to intentionally damage another robot. playing defense always increases the chance of damage, and that was just a victim of the defense level. it's unfortunate that we won the match with you goes out, but we have all had issues like this.(glad that you made it back out in time for match 3-3) In our semi finals 2-3 we got hit which reset the CRIo and we take preventative measures against this and since I have been on the team it has never happened until that one match. making the loss deficient a lot larger then what it might have been.

we deployed this in the 16th finals and although it only actually happened once it worked great for a real quick three assist cycle. the strategy was to only do it if both robots were available and the opponent was inbounding.

Great strategy, they ended up finalists only losing to the poofs' alliance. I also like the give back to human player strategy utilized by 2590, 1477, and 1625 in Archimedes elims and Einstein.

I find this strategy interesting and I really want to try it, unfortunately our robot does not have the distance on its shot to do it but I can see it being very effective.
