Re: A Horrible Idea

This isn't really a horrible idea...if you think about it. Lets say that at a regional cometition you compete in 17 matches...now if you block the chutes and you win ALL of your matches...the QP points don't matter because your the only team that would be 17-0. Therefore you would be 1st place. Now the down fall to this would be that your other allience partners wouldn't like to win a shut out because that would hurt their score. The best way to go about making a robot that could do this would have some heavy metal wall that would cover a good percentage of the whole and a long cord that would connect to your robot that is guarding the other human player chute. if i can find a scoring spread sheet and prove that your win % will become greater if you do it...then i think doing this is a HUGE key to the game.
