Re: Calling All Drivers
By saying "keep moving" that might end up hurting you. I've noticed that driving full speed 100% puts you in poor places to defend yourself. By having different speeds, it makes you harder to hit from hp's and robots.

It's also a control question. With no traction, that means no brakes. Just like driving on ice, you need to increase the time it takes to do everything.

I think the better word would be always move WITH A PURPOSE. If that means that you back yourself into a corner with a hp with no moon rocks, that's fine. Just always have the best stratagy before each match that you can.
