Re: how effective are the herders/dumpers?

I agree that the herders/dumpers are very important. I know we had a few matches where we dumped nearly full load of balls (somewhere around 45 points). A lot of the effectiveness of a herder/dumper is that the focus is usually on whoever the best three point shooter is, then you can send out your other partner to play defense on people defending the shooter, or basically get in the way. We did this, and it let our bot run free and score tons of points. Team 213 was very manuverable...makes me think what could have happened if we ran four omni's instead of two.
