832 also had to get onto the ramp to score and did so effectively.

An interesting strategy I saw at Peachtre was when there was an alliance of 3 shooters and 1 was not working. The shooter bot that was not working at the time played as the back bot during defense and "set-up to shoot". As soon as the other alliance's offense round ended, 2 of their robots rushed to play defense on the robot that was not working leaving the other 2 shooter bots wide open to score and then win the match. This strategy was tricky and worked pretty well.

Another strategy I saw was when there was an alliance of all dumpers against an alliance of assorted robots. The alliance of the different types of robots were on offense first and there were no points scored during the autonomous round. The team of shooters and dumpers went and score a few points and then rushed back before their offensive round eneded to go and camp out in front of the corner goals.
They camped there for the rest of the match. Although they scored very few points, the alliance of dumpers did not score any at all.
