Re: ball corral block, good or bad?
Unless both ball chutes are blocked then it is some what useless of a strategy because any one behind the glass can touch and pass the balls to the other team. So if he is really that good he will still be getting lots of balls and by having all these people ready to pass him balls he actually might be able to take more shots then he would of in the first place with only him and his mentor prepping him with balls. I’m not saying it is a bad strategy we have used it in the past. Now looking at it possibly a waste of time? At least for our or any robot who is very efficient at picking up small and large balls to waste time bringing a goal to the other side of the field.

Another thought if the other teams human player touches the goal wouldn’t it disables your robot so it could also be a very bad strategy at the same time. Eliminating you from the match.
