Re: Can Burglar Rules Questions

Along the same lines I have a scenario to present:

Lets say both alliances have can grabbers, each with a fast one and a "slow" one, they line up the fast can grabbers against each other and the same for the slow ones. One alliance knows that both of their can grabbers are slightly slower and will lose the race. What's to stop an alliance from just (beyond the regular field set-up time limit) switching the bots in the last few seconds to split the difference and at least get two cans. Or in a similar scenario the faster alliance switches their bots to ensure they get all four cans.

Just something that was brought up in casual conversation, I doubt this situation will come up seeing as most can grabbers are within the general range of grabbing the RCs in <1s. Just an idea, and perhaps could see the matches be a lot closer against the fast grabbers.
