I had a horrible idea for a strategy and I haven't seen the idea fully discussed anywhere, so I wanted to put it on here and hope that most everyone would agree that this would be a horrible thing to do!
I think on the Q+A board on FIRST's site someone asked if we can block the view of the drivers. And there's a discussion now about blocking the ball chutes. I could imagine a robot being able to do both. It would essentially stop the other team from being able to compete!
You're all going to say "but you get the losers score!" I know, but the score doesn't matter in the finals! (If you win it doesn't anyway) If you go into the finals as a top seed and you pick a bot that can disable the other alliance and then let you do whatever you want, then you would win.
I know this bot would be hard to design and I'm sure that it would receive some damange. But don't say it can't be done! Even if it's just not feasible - pretend it is for the fun of the discussion.
