Thank you very much, meaubry. I really enjoyed playing against your team. The excitement on the field for those matches and all the other elims was amazing.

The key to pulling such a strategy off is to have two machines that can dash to the goals, get all three, and then be able to push to get the goals in scoring position. Ideally, teams with multi-speed transmissions would do this best, but if played right, that is not mandatory. More important is to be able is to outrun the other team for the first two goals and out push for the third. If a team is a strong enough pusher (like us) they can force a goal (and robot) to go anywhere they want.
