Re: Starve Them!

I think the way the game set up requires more thought into strategy. That way, if you choose to try and autonomous mode, you better win it or you are left with no balls to shoot and have to reload for most of your first offensive period.

There have been a few rounds where we knew we couldn't win autonomous and elected to keep the balls until the final round to score. We would reload our helix and then go and human load all the balls they scored with and then tried to score them in the final round. We would starve their human player so they couldn't reload.

It is risky, and it might burn us against really good opponents (or if you drop a chain like we did in Detroit), but it was the strategy we chose to take for that round.
