Re: Teamwork Strategy for Scoring

Having given it some more thought after a couple of days, it seems to me that super cell scoring in the last 20 seconds will decide a large number of matches, if not most of them. This would seem to nullify any objections to vulnerability to robot scoring while pinning an opposing robot while the PS scores.

That is, during the last 20 seconds, it's not likely that there will be enough time to feed super cells to robots to then score, so the real danger will be from the fueling station PS. The key tactic will be to recognize which PSs have super cells and then take offensive/defensive action as necessary. It's a great opportunity for two alliance partners to shove a robot/trailer into a corner while a sharp shooting PS easily scores two super cells. I think we will see this tactic performed again and again, and then we will see coordinated defenses evolve to defeat it.
