Re: Open Brainstorming Thread

ok well now since i am back from kickoff (sort of) i thought i would start this out by some of my initial impressions and thoughts

if you put a tetra on top of the goals with the magnet hangers the inside tetras fall automatically

when you stack a tetra on top of a goal the spacing is 6 inches so every time you put a new one on you have to lift it six inches taller


strategy
1) build a big stack of them on your robot being fed from the automatic and put the whole stack on top of a goal.

reasoning: 1 it makes it much harder for others to put tetras on top because of added height, each one is worth 3 points each and a large number of them will counter act the rows made

2) keep your robot playing defence in front of human player loading zone so they would be unable to get tetras on the field

3) in auto mode go to the other side of the Field before engaging your vision so you are going for the same one as the other alliance

reasoning: 1 it is a defensive move, 2nd it will still give you the opportunity to get the tetras and give you the possible block


more to come.... please add your ideas and suggestions
