Re: Strategies for Obtaining Containers from the Center?

Remember that in quals, denying your opponents from getting points isn't all that beneficial for seeding. You're only slowing down three teams as opposed to spending that time gaining points for your team. If you utilize the RC's to gain points for your alliance that is a different story.

With that said we have done testing on the difficulty of getting the RC off of the step in a controlled manner (so you don't risk giving your oponents a freebie). We came to the same conclusion that Build Blitz came to with the idea of a hook. Knocking the RC's with a blunt force didn't work very well at all. Grabbing onto them with a hook (under the lip of the lid or handles, doesn't matter) was suprisingly easy.
