Re: [YMTC]: Robot Ability

As a coach, it's my job to see what tools our alliance has to play with and what obstacles the opponents will be throwing at us. I'd have to honestly assess how well I think my team could cap with little to no drive practice on this newly upgraded arm. This is how I would probably approach my partners:

"You guys are capping juggernauts. That's what we need you to do. We'll play our match on the other side of the field and try to draw attention away from you guys. While we're there, you know we can play some hard defense, but my pit crew just told me we finally got our capper functional. If we get the chance to make a few defensive caps and maybe a spoiler cap towards the end, we'll try it. Basically, you two throw up lots of tubes, and we'll make their two minutes very difficult."

This seems like a reasonable proposal. Smart cappers will love to be able to play on their own side all match.

Under no circumstances would I abandon the plan just to fulfill our own personal goals. If our goals are that important, it's my responsibility to work them into the game strategy somehow.
