Re: Which type of offense is better?

Cyber Blue has the ability to both shoot from the ramp and the floor. We tend to shoot from the floor and only go up the ramp if we are getting a lot of defense. Both strategies have their pros and cons.

While Shooting from the floor you don't have to worry about falling over while going up and down the ramp or the amount of time it takes. However, you are more susceptible to defensive robots on the floor.

With the ramp campers you have the same easy shot time after time as long as you can get up the ramp. Once you're up there, there isn't a whole lot of defense that can be played on you unless a team can get perpendicular to you and push you sideways. But like I said earlier, you risk falling down everytime you're on the ramp and it takes some time to go collect balls and then drive to the ramp and get up.
