Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and NONE AT THE MOMENT!

.
To all you coaches out there...
i wonder how the strategies will play out this year. I mean some bots will have the same strengths in some rounds, so i would imagine that the coaches are going to be trying to come up with the best scenarios to score the highest score...
what do you think will be a typical scenario...
do you think coaches will insist on hitting the stop buzzer? if so, then teams will be forced to do their ball picking up or whatever in less than a minute... or something.
well, my guess is in almost every round, there will be one that can balance well. one that will maaaybe pick up balls. and one that can get everyone across by sharing the bridge.
so given, that i think it might be best to give x amount of time to ball pickup, x amount of time to balance, and x amount to get to the other side.
"HIT THE BUZZER!!!"
"But we're not done YET!!"
hehe..
