My team doesn't worry about how the game will play at the highest levels. We figure the odds of our getting there aren't good enough to need to be worried.

Instead, we focus on how we can bring our highest level of play to the game--and hopefully get those odds higher and higher.


Because of that, extreme high-level play is tagged with "godbot" when used in strategy discussions, and used primarily to figure out how to get picked as an ally to such teams, as well as to help determine a more achievable play level for our robot to have--but still a stretch. For example, if we think that Poofs will score 4 noodled 6-stacks/match, we'll be targeting more on the order of 2 noodled 5-stacks and one totes-only 5 stack. (I don't remember exactly what we figured for this year--but it was something along those lines.)
