Re: Use of Spoilers

At PNW there were very few times when a spoiler was needed (a row of 5 or more). When a spoiler did come out the robot with it was defended very heavily. There were a few placed though. My team has one placed against us in the quarter finals but we had decided that getting on a ramp is more important. I doubt that spoilers will be that useful with so much defense being played on robots carrying them.
