I will say that our game plan hasn't changed in 3 regionals. Leave all stacks alone until you need to destroy them ... this only makes sense.

As Alex stated in an earlier post, Team 68 will not take part in any collusion.

Paul,

While I agree with your statement that you need not touch the boxes until you need to destroy them, Team 68 has worked out a few rules of thumb about knocking stacks over that can be determined as soon as the HP mood is over as well as a few moves the HP is to default to if something changes on the field during the HP time that I (coach) or drive team was unaware of before the match (put your thinking cap on ). While we may not get the highest scores, this method has worked rather well for winning matches as well as placing high in QPs (2nd and 7th). I agree totally with leaving stacks for the other team, I just worry some times about missing a box or two and not winning the match because of it. Leaving the other team with stacks is a good method and a method that we use that has not failed yet, knock on wood!! Leaving the stacks is the call the drivers and coaches, alone with the human player should make on the field, not before the match. Good luck and hope to see you in T minus 5 days.

(PM me and let me know where you guys are staying again and if you can figure out what our rule of thumb is, Thanks)
