Re: Picking up balls or not

Personally I think the scores will be about the same for for every match, and the only difference will be the extra balls picked up and scored from the ground, or super cells. We've built the goal and moved it around and found it not that difficult to shoot, therefore usually all 6 teams will average out the same in PS shots (barring exceptional or poor shooters). Therefore if your alliance bots aren't affecting the score and the other alliances are, you will lose. With all the movement on the field herding is kind of automatic and unintentional, so designing for that is kind of redundant.
