Re: "Playing Cheap"

I'd just give props to the programmer...but you know...

Our bot can hang. Hanging is something that we will be doing better than say ball grabbing and such. We designed our robot with that in mind...yes, we can do other things, but hanging is our strong point and if we do better just going for the hang at the beginning, than that's what we'll be doing...it comes down to strategy. In reality...any bot that hangs at the start is actually more at a disadvantage if you can heard well with ball and can cap and have an excellent human player. ... 18 balls + 3 balls + 3 balls = 24 balls. 24 balls * 5 =120 points. 120 points * 2 for the multiplier ball is 240 points...a bot that could shoot well, cap, and catch all the balls and feed them to the hp could woop on a team that hanged...
