think of the game as foosball instead of soccer

After giving it much thought I've come to the conclusion this whole game is about lane control. Honestly, I think the tunnels will end up being near to impossible to use for many teams, so being able to go over the bumps will be big. Instead of looking at this game as a soccer match i think it'll be better to see it as a foosball match, everyone stays in their own lane and does there part for the team. this year's robots will basically break down into 3 main categories. Either ur a close lane, middle lane or far lane robot.

A good close lane robot should be able to have good ball movement, speedy but strong to handle the defense and a soft touch kick.

A good mid lane robot should have good ball movement to get the balls to the first lane robot or to have a strong mid range kick w/ help from the camera. the middle robot needs to be an ALL-STAR because the too will have to play defense to fight for control of the middle zone by controlling what and who gets passed through the tunnels.

The far lane robot will have to be a good old defensive robot. they any to stop any close range scoring by standing right i front of the goal and not giving it up after it moves up the balls to the first or middle lane. they would have to move the first 3 balls from the far lane in auto mode or the other team will come and take them when transmit mode starts.

this game is all about team work and BALL MOVEMENT!!! u cant hog all of the balls and think ur gonna be able to score them all.
