Re: biggest threat in atlanta

He said he doesn't need an arm. I am curious to see what the strategy is.

Three scorers, one is a hybrid (254) capable of 2@12, and two have fairly strong drivetrains (148 and company). Without an arm on the opposing alliance, they'd just need to hang a single tube, then get two robots on the ramp. If one robot is going to take a penalty to prevent the ramping at the end, then they only need to cancel out the one opposing alliance's robot that has ramped. So, the beefy drivetrain (148) stops trying to get on 254's ramps, and they instead protect their partner. The ramps neutralize, and they win on the rack.

Such teases, though-- now I'm curious what strategy I'm missing.
