Hi

Well my best strategy,as of right now, is to stop robots from doing whatever they specialize in... stop goal dragging robots from grabbing the goals, stop ball gathers robots from gathering balls and stop ball scoring robots from scoreing balls.

1. One way I learned how to stop robots from attaching to the goals... simply get to it first and spin in a somewhat circular motion, this keeps the driver agrivated and very very angry at some points.
2. To stop or reduce the gathering of ball gathering robots.... direct your robot the the balls along the side of the field and either pick them up or shatter them all over the field.
3. When a robot is scoring with balls... ram the goal ( do not ram the goal from the opposite side for the robot scoring, but from the side)... this will also shake up the drivers because normally drivers dump balls in the goal when the match is nearly over. By delaying them it makes them nervous and they will normally get highly irritated which blocks the majority of the drivers minds into thinking "the match is over" and "forget it".

Mostly all strategy is to be used during the middle of the match or when time is limited... thats when strategy is very effective depending on how well the plan is thought out..... you can also keep your opponent from scoring anything at all, its very risky but it will be a tie game... simply put all the point in their zones so that your points remains 0. At the end of the match they will see that 3 x 0 = 0. But the side effect is to keep your opponent from giving your points.....
