Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?

Well, I expect a lot of people attempting full offense. But I don't see a lot of them pulling it off. At least not by having the robot throwing balls in. Aren't there other ways the robot can play offense? I think the best offense on this game is going to be whoever can pin the other for the longest. If I can pin you next to a player station, the human player can score a good chunk while your working yourself loose. Also, if your pinned, my bot is between your bot and my trailer making it harder for you to score. Meanwhile my bot will be outside of your human players range. Make sense? If you just go for shooting with the bot you get into the other teams range much more then if you set picks for the human player. Not sure this is how it will play out, its just the way I foresee it happening.
