Re: Week 1: Thoughts, comments

What I feel, watching the videos, is that as was said before, defence is king, more so than I have seen since Stack Attack. Secondly, though most teams are shooting, the corner goals seem unguarded most of the time. A robot with either good speed or power stands a good chance of getting to a corner goal at least once during a match, and if they have a good load of balls, could swing the match. Once someone is in the corner, you cannot get them out. Finally, though the ramp seems like a golden match winner, most alliances seem to only have 1 or 2 ramp climbers, and often they still have difficulties. A teams that can fly up the ramp whenever it's needed would seem to be a valuable team-mate.

Regardless, I see this as a game that could change dramatically as the year goes on. Not just in efficiency, but how the entire game balances.
