Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.

The goal of this strategy is not to direct a returning ball into the goal every time--I don't think there will be enough energy in the ball to do that (since the only energy that can be on said ball is gravity). The goal is to direct a returning ball towards a goal, where a partner (already working against the goalie to score goals) can quickly stuff the ball into the goal...and start the process all over again. That sounds like 2 on 1 to me in my team's favor.

Also remember, if you're using a robot to keep me off the tower, you're no longer trying to score, which now makes it a 2 on 2 game, right?
