The Center Goal

I think this is a question on everyone’s mind with major strategy implications. Hopefully this thread can allow us to sample opinions out there on how much the center goal will be used in the competition.

Things To Consider
• 3 Points-
May be considered too little by many teams for the complexity of mechanism involved
For teams that can build effective mechanisms, the scoring advantage for balls available would be great.
• Undefendable (path of ball) with height restriction
• With 2 defensive robots, both side chutes could be covered, preventing scoring anywhere else but the center goal

I hope this poll brings in some valuable info on the opinions of teams out there and some possible trends we might see. Good luck to all in these days of formulating our designs.
