Re: Strategy
I believe teams need to think about playing this game just like playing soccer.
On the pitch you want to keep control of the ball... moving it from the midfield and into scoring position. At the same time you should be always watching for opportunities to score..
In this game you have 12 balls... not really all that many on this big field...you may be surprised when you start to play how much empty real estate will be there...
My evaluation is to continuously move balls towards your goal area...
If you have a shot take it... if you don't, just keep the pressure on the area in front of your goals... If you can keep more balls on your side of the field... the opposing team will have a difficult time controlling them.
Remember you can control your home zone... you can dump 8-10 balls in there and then bring your robots up and into the zone... the opposing team can only have one robot there.... you can then overwhelm the other team by blocking them and wait until close to the end and put the balls in...
Waiting to score until the end will mean the scored balls won't be put into play until too late for the other alliance to use them.
I believe this strategy will be seen in Atlanta...
When I coached and played soccer it is the same strategy... only with one ball....keep control... keep pressure on the defense... string them out...move the ball from side to side until you have an opportunity...then push through to the goal...
Keeping the other side unbalanced while you attack gives you a great advantage...
good luck to everyone we will enjoy seeing you on the field!!
