Re: Team 60, the Teaser

I predict that they will not frequently carry more than 1 tetra, and almost never 4.

The only point of carrying multiple tetras, as far as i can tell, is to cap goals far from your loading stations, specifically, goals on the far side of the field. Otherwise, I think it is faster just to grab one, drive a few feet, cap, and return.

Did you notice how enormous the robot becomes when its got 4 tetras stored on it? If you are planning to send that robot into enemy territory, you will have a lot more trouble from blockers than a smaller robot. It will just be so much easier to block.
