Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

There are times during game play where a dump is very viable..and easy.

When another team is unloading into the airlock, the trailer is stationary.

When another team is at the outpost getting the empty cell, the trailer is stationary.

When another team is pushed up against a wall by two robots, the trailer is stationary.

A dumping bot of sorts only needs to get to a trailer goal once or twice in a match to make a big difference.
