Re: Capping a Team Legal?

Capping on a stationary goal is hard enough, and I'm sorry if I made a comotion. I think the that planning a match for the sole purpose of disabling or taking advantage of a teams stacking ability will lead to trouble. Arms get high in the air, pushing happens, and all of a sudden you've got one or two robots on thier sides which could result in DQ's. In a finals match I think it would be worth the risk, but not during a qualifying round. Ranking points matter and it's not about shutting out your oppenent. I know that this strategy was not aimed at qualifying or finals but I am just commenting on the strategy. By all means, I can't take away the power of these forums, or the power for alliances to use risky strategies.

I think that avoiding this strategy would be a good deterent for any arguments after qualifying matches. If seen them happen and it's no fun. Thats what I meant by my previous "Play the game" comment. It all depends on your partners and your oponents.
