Out one bot, and into the other.
Erin,

I believe alot of teams will find shooting is much harder than they originally expected it to be (ex. Stack Attack ), and this strategy will be played out more and more as teams realize which robots can shoot consistently. An alliance of one great shooter, one great herder, and one great defensive bot will be a winning alliance.
