Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

We started the weekend with a shooter and ended up with a power dumper.

We were only hitting one out of 7 shots fired at the goals. (not to good)

Analyzing the game play we found that you could pin or come in close contact with a goal for about 3 seconds on average. It was a no brainier to go to plan B the Power Dumper that can fire 6 to 8 Orbit Balls in under 2 seconds with great accuracy. IMO the Good dumpers will be a force to be reckoned with at most events. Poor moving Bots will be a sitting ducks.........So keep moving if you can do nothing else to keep from being pinned! It will become a game of cat and Mouse or a Dog fight to get position on your opponent to score big for the high profile bots that can fill a trailer with their large loads. The Championship will be a wild one !
