Re: best way to score in the lower goals ??

A strategy of blocking the lower goals, while it will work in the early regionals during qualification matches, is not the best idea. Think about it, if you want to rank high, you must win often, by a small margin, in a high scoring match.

Relating to what Billfred said:

Last year's game lent itself to being total chaos, where you didn't care what your opponent scores. Since the RTS will actually be RT this year and the final ball score, you may will probably have time to say "Oh Gee! It's 75 to 15 and one of thier robots can't make it up on the ramp! Let's make thier score closer to ours!" and you'll have time to execute it.

This made me realize something: Will we get more matches as the refs won't have to score the object, merely see if your robot is on the ramp?
