Re: The Chokehold Strategy of 2016?

Red robots could also work together to keep the defense on one side of the arc. I know at Arizona North, 2122 was pushing robots trying to block team 125's vision.
This is my take on it too. Might be effective 1v1, but pretty easy to break out of as soon as a second red robot gets involved.
