Re: More Strategy in 2007

I would like to make a point that I believe we have missed. We're all talking about strategy and how important that it is and I think we've overlooked an important factor. The rack is a cylinder. This means that the drivers, coach, and human player won't be able to see the entire rack. Which means the robot and the drivers are blinded to what happens on the other side. Yes you can use the camera to target and make sure that the ringer you're placing goes in, however how are you supposed to tell where putting a ringer will be most effective.

Also, this years game seems more like you won't have a clue of who will win until the end, since putting up Ringers aren't definite points.
Yes it will be difficult to tell who won. You can't see the other side of the rack.
