Re: Ball Hogs

Almost like Roller derby for robots isn't it?
But yeah it seems that people who usually are the famed center of the alliance are going to have to cooperate. And when the rules say you can herd your enemy's track ball you're bound to get some possible stalemates between the alliances. After all if your trackballs are captured and the opponent's balls are yours the only way to score is to go fast and try to score points by racing each other. And if they have slow robots then you pretty much have the problem with "gently bumping" to the other balls. Or as long as the opposition has a "rabbit" and the other robots just pin the balls against the arena you're going to be in a lot of trouble if you aren't fast.
