I've been looking at the numbers lately, and you are right, getting the stretcher is just another free 10 pts. It's the same amount of points compare to scoring another big ball or filling the far goals with small balls (that and getting a robot in the end zone, but we are assuming we get all the robots possible over there).

So, it does actually sounds safer to score a stretcher than trying for a second big ball... Because right now I am talking about trade-off's, and if the robots can get two big ball up there fast, then we don't have to decide between the stretcher and the big balls.

So, if your robot can get the stretcher safely into the end zone fast and reliably, then, Go ahead. We are looking forward in forming alliance with your robot.

The Ideal alliance with a stretcher will be: a limbo robot that can pick up big balls, another limbo robot on the stretcher because of its weight, a third high traction robot that can score the stretcher and itself, and finally a balancer that can balance two goals.

If everything goes well, one big ball + small balls + stretcher + 3 robot in the end zone will get a 600 within 60 seconds.

But of course if we are aiming for the 700, we will want to do it within 30 seconds or score a second big ball.
