Smile Strategy

We have all shipped our machines by now so this is really academic, but I really enjoy other peoples opinions because it shapes and molds my own.
The most aggresive strategy would be to have two machines that could pickup other robots without damaging them and bring them home immediately. Although this would not produce good results in your average qualifying score, it would just about guarentee you a spot in the elimination rounds. No, we did not pursue that strategy because there were to many ifs, if you could design a method of picking up any robot without damaging it and if you were allied with another robot just like yours. I think in the end, only the final location of the goals and robots will determine the winners. It is going to be fun watching, I'll say that. Hopefully this will be the best game yet from the spectators perspective.
