Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

In order to block the 2 ball auto, a team would have to give up on their own 1 ball auto in my opinion. Either grabbing the ball or intentionally hitting it would constitute possession.

If the only purpose in doing this is stopping the 2 ball auto... it would be a net gain of 0.

If a team could do this and still score a ball then it could be a net gain. This would mean you drop your ball... move to hit a ball or pick it up and then use it.
If you could stop a 2 ball and then do a 2 ball it would be amazing.

Unfortunately the only 2 ball autos that have been consistently shown are low bar versions. (Please correct me if I am wrong) So stopping a low bar 2 ball would have to come from a position on the field that can't easily do the two ball.


I am sure that some teams are working on fantastic auto routines and I look forward to seeing them in St. Louis. I also think that doing an anti-two ball auto is something that won't really help your team very much and that trying to do your own two ball auto is a better use of time. (Or solidifying a perfect 1 ball auto....)

IMHO
Feel free to disagree ....

Good luck on the field
