Spinning hasn't seemed that useful to me unless you have a robot that can really build up some RPMs. If you're not spinning very fast, the PS just starts timing the spin and tossing moon rocks in anyways. I saw a PS at LSR that would grab two rocks at a time and toss them when the trailer swung around, then grab two more rocks, wait... It certainly makes life more difficult for the PS, but it doesn't really make scoring impossible.

A better plan starting in the corners is to pull a slight turn into the long wall and drive to or just past your outpost. If you're a tall robot and you pull your trailer slightly past the outpost, you're nearly impossible to score on. The PS you started in front of is unlikely to make a half court+ shot, the PS in front of you isn't likely to score over the top of your robot, and the outpost PS isn't going to have the range or the vision to score over the mass of robots in center field. Granted, you're in trouble if the robot in front of you doesn't get out of the way, but he's going to be in more trouble in that case anyways.
