Re: Blocking the endzone with tetras

we were just discussing this tactic in oru team, and it could work. If you had a quick enough robot, it wouldn't be that much of a problem to grab a a couple of opposing team's tetras off their auto loading zone and drop them in their endzone.

It would be pretty time-consuming to pick up the tetras out of their zone.

Also, speaking from a mathematical basis: a tetra can be worth a potential point if they happen to push it in, so if you put 5 or so of them in their endzone, that might sufficiently block them, and you've sacrificed possibly 5 points to gain an advantage of 10
