I was thinking the same thing last night along with other upgrades with our 30lbs outside bag after seeing week 1.

I thought it would be good to have a "net" and give it to less than capable robots that were underweight so the could do something. We had a defensive goalie bot that was limited to mainly that role last year, so I am always thinking of defensive and KISS. The net would bounce those noodles into landfill scoring 1 each...but as was mentioned may add to crowding and limiting own noodle options... I sort of shelved it in my head for now. Still working on the other ideas.

Again RC with litter is 6, Thrown is 4 (if scored), then moved to LF is 1 and negates the 4

So there are better options to a point than throwing as that's 2 points less than placed in RC per N

So from a totally statistical standpoint:

In N in RC is a better expected return on investment for capable bots up to # of RC's your alliance has (3-7).

As to the rest... depends on game situation and what alliances are trying to do at the time....to maximize scores.

Basically a team that is "Noodle Throwing" as a main strategy BETTER have a a decent bot too. Otherwise they will be bounced rather quickly in eliminations. Unless they are the alternate bot on alliances 1 and 2...and they make up for the deficient bot HP reliance technique "Noodle Throwing" team got there with.

Saw this earlier they made it and got bounced...no surprise there.
