Re: Late as it is for strategy, I was thinking.

Actually, I've got (IMHO) the perfect strategy for such a robot.

Imagine a robot that in autonomous mode can get across the field in a hurry and pop open a big see-throughable net (a la ComBBAT, but opening horizontally). If you made the net wide enough (the whole 20', maybe less if you did some figuring), high enough, and got the net nice and flush against the wall, you'd have great defense. 100 points maximum, and that's assuming both of their robots hang.

But to take it to the next level, all you'd need is to collect all of the caught balls and spit them across the field (kinda like that red robot did in the game animation). Get a partner that'll herd them, and you're in for a show.

I think it could be done--thoughts?
