The plan for Champs is to calibrate the Shooter to shoot from the Outer Works to give us some protection. We still can't shoot over a high bot right in front of us. But, being in the Outer Works helps there because they can only get so close. If we back up in the Outer Works, we should be able to get enough height for a robot a safe distance away. If they try to get too close, then we move forward and contact them while the rear bumper is still in the Outer Works.

From what we have seen a good defender will significantly slow down both low goal scorers and any high goal scorers that can't shoot from the outerworks. it seems that having a member of your alliance play defense during qualifications isn't happening much, but strategically should maybe be happening more. We think it is a must for eliminations, and will specifically be selecting our last robot to perform that task.
