Re: Defensive Strategy - cornering opponents ball

Those people that say how boring it would be to watch a match where all 4 balls are pinned, I disagree completely. That would be very interesting to watch, does a team try to grab a pinned ball and let their opponents get a lap lead, or do they just try and out run their opponents and hope they can win that way. I expect that at least one team on Einstein will be pinning a ball and limiting the scoring for the opposing alliance.

Yay for low gear and grippy tires, we'll get that ball
