Re: Statistically Winning Strategy

The alliance that got into the finals had a ramp bot that would just deploy at the very beginning and do nothing else, which was good except their alliance mates didn't come back in time. The reason we won is because we stopped lots of tubes from being scored with our crazy defense and then our alliance partners drove up us. We had meet with our alliance partners before where they tried to drive up our ramps and neither could so we got rid of our chucks which once their robots where on our they would not come off and 540 got rid of their back bumpers. Without chucks it just makes it so we have to hit the raise button at the perfect time. Our ramps never failed except the one match in elimination where the battery was basically dead.
