Re: Top Ten Tips From The Veterans

From what I've seen from the best teams this year and definantly last year is that the teams that score big and score fast win. 1114 and 1024 showed me last me what it means to be great. A fast bot with a simple scoring system is what I have strived to achieve ever since seeing them. I know I kept asking myself as I sat in front of the computer on those late night builds, "Take out weight. Make it simpler. Make it better."

Look for the multipliers that you can score a lot very quickly. Last year it was laps. This year, a team that can get all of the empty cells will be dangerous. That is as long as they have the human player to score...
