Just find the strong suits of each robot, even if they're small.
Not so fast on that point. That's not what is happening in the highest scoring regional playoffs. And the game design encourages that. In fact in a match where we had 1323 off the field while we added the can grabber, our alliance got the 4 pt robot set in auto to score 32 points total, the only perfect auto at the event. The field is so tight that having 3 moving robots while building many stacks becomes risky compared to the payoff.
