To get away from the Battlecry debate-

Multiple people have mentioned the 33-1625-1671 match where they ran a somewhat unique strategy.

Their opponents were also trying to do something crazy that match (which unfortunately failed- not that anyone was watching us).

Our alliance of 20-2502-5299 needed to somehow outscore an alliance of those three powerful teams. If you don't know these three robots, both 2502 and 5299 have forklift-style ball pickups. 5299 is a dedicated inbounder.
We assumed 33 would be playing forward and wanted to play constant defense on them. So instead of running the intuitive strategy of Inbounder-Trusser-Forward in some form, we tried something a little different.

2502 would get the ball over the truss to the human player. The human player would put the ball into 20's robot, who would pass it right back (a give-and-go), then the human player would put the ball into the 5299 machine who would score it in the low goal. This would put 20 on constant defense on 33 (in theory).
Unfortunately after one cycle, 5299's forklift broke and they could no longer human load the ball, and multiple missed autonomous balls sealed the match for us. It also didn't help that our opponents had 33 playing the long trusser role instead of the forward.

It was unfortunate, but our alliance needed to try something if we wanted to have a chance of beating that powerful alliance.
