Re: Best Way to Get Points

I forsee the best alliance this year being a combo group, with no more than two hurdlers, and the other bots being designed more for lap speed and ball herding. No hurdlers on an alliance seems rather low scoring, but an all hurdler group I think will find they've got a rather worthless lap runner in their non-ball possessing member.

There's only two balls, so if you have two hurdlers on your alliance, the third robot either needs to be running more laps for points, getting in the opposition's way, or helping to rebound balls for the hurdlers.
