Re: Best Game STRATEGY

In theory that all works well. With no opponents or partners it might look good on paper. But the real stradegy comes when u find out who your partners are. The stradegy looks good but will it work with 3 robots pounding you everywhere u go? Many factors must be taken into consideration. Personally our stradegy is to cap 3 tetras and triple play our home row. Our autonomous covers one of the side goals by capping and dropping scoring 4 points. If we can get our partners to defend for 40-50 seconds then we can do this easily. After that time our partners should be free to do what they do unless they prefer otherwise. From there our robot will protect the home row and get back before time is up or will go across the field to make a cap either on the center row or the opponents home row. This is variable depending on the partners we get per match. Cooperation between the teams to get the best possible score is also a key. There were times at UTC where we would ask a team to help us out, they would agree, and then when we needed them they were off doing there thing. I can tell u this much...u won't get far without cooperation among the alliance members.
