Re: Palmetto Regional Week 0.5

I think the strategy for teams that are capable of scoring boulders is damaging a defense every two cycles. In practice we ran 8 cycles in a timed practice period with a defensive robot (most ideal situation with a boulder sitting just outside the low bar - not in the same spot every time, though).

One robot can rack up a lot of points in a match by themselves if they follow this plan. Score a boulder, run under the low bar to grab a boulder, then cross a defense. 10 point cycles. If a robot is capable of doing 8 cycles, that's 80 points in tele-op by themselves.

I understand that there won't be many robots that can do this, but if you look at teams like 179 at this event, they could most definately get close to doing something similar. Especially in the right alliance.

Most teams are just focusing on the defenses at the moment. Remember, this is a week 0.5 event. A lot of teams tend to learn from regionals and make changes when it's their turn to compete, especially for teams that attend multiple regionals/district events.

I'm sure we will see a tower capture once every few matches in the coming weeks.
