Re: FIRST Stronghold Match Strategy

I'll give you an example. My team's robot is a particularly strong breacher. We can go through the low bar, and the B and D defenses very quickly, so we tell our partners to focus on shooting if that's what they do. If our partners can do the Portcullis/Cheval, we let them, as we haven't tested on those yet. Otherwise, we do what we've referred to as "chaining" the drawbridge/sally port, where one robot holds the door open for one or both of the other two.

After the breach is finished, our job is to fall back on defense and mess with enemy shooter bots or prevent them from crossing defenses (before they reach them to avoid fouls). Since we have to leave our courtyard at 30 seconds anyway, we make a dash for the opposing castle where we attempt to scale.

Each match, we coordinate with our partners who will take which defenses in what order.

EDIT: Make sure you figure out auto defenses as well. Be prepared to not get low bar.
