Re: Staying in Zones

Depending where teams are positioned from the beginning, they might need to be able to move to different zones if they intend to hang in the last 20 seconds. Passing will also be very important to get more balls on your side of the field, but if the other team gains possession of most of the balls you might need some backup in the middle zone. Even if your robot is small enough to go under the tunnel, the robot with the bumpers would be a tight squeeze and the tunnel exit could be blocked. So I wouldn't say that being able to move to different zones is completely useless. I think the drivetrain is pretty key in this game and is just as essential as scoring, hanging, passing, and defense.
