Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

Well, it's possible that you start with no ball, grab the ball the two-baller intends to take, then score that ball by crossing over the nearest defense and shooting. The risk you run in that case is "are you fast enough to grab the ball before the other team does?" Because if you don't get the ball, you won't score any balls in auto.

Furthermore, the teams most likely capable of this are probably doing their own two-ball or a one-ball over a tougher defense than the low bar, so their priorities may be elsewhere.

IMO the risk and comparative resources of the alliance necessary to pull this off will not make it worthwhile and we'll see more teams just focus on having all three of their robots drive over the defenses and score a ball. That doesn't mean it won't happen at all, I just don't see it being as big of a focal point as the can races last year.
