After considering all situations that could happen in the last 20-30 seconds when handing will be attempted i came to the conclusion that it is best if 2 robots hang and one continues to score. This is simply because there will be potentially ungarded goals and more then likely 2+ balls in the scoring end, or a ton in the middle. If you have a good kicker it may be best to score even if you could hang. 2 teamates can easily hang off of the tower, any more and you have to hang off eachother. I think this will be a challenge and not all teams will be able to do this quickly. So if two teams hang off the tower and the third scores the team will have 4+(i would guess anywhere from 2-5 points) The other team will have from 6-8 if there whole team hangs. If 2 of the opposing team hangs then its even. If you run through all the senarios and make some assumptions you will see what i am saying. I think, but i may be wrong, that scoring with no deffender will be easy in the last 20-30 seconds (depending on when the enemy has to start hanging) and therfore it will be benifical to build the best kicker you can because if teams realize this they will want you.

Of course if no one builds a hanging bot then this doesn't matter.

My team is focusing on our kicker now and if we finish with time left we will build a hanging mechanism. This will give us time to practce while we build the hanging mechanism and then attach it on in the end if we decide to. I think this strategy will be great because we will then have a ton of driving practice, and the ability to do any task.
