First off...you save a couple of small balls so that you can knock your opponents 2X multiplier off their stationary goal with a baseball throw. I've done it several times in practice--it just takes some skill and a lot of luck.

Second off...you try to get your robot--or your partners robot--to hang/cap/block the bar/ whatever to the best of its ability.

Thirdly...you pray.
