Re: A novel strategy: Always score for your opponents

Just for the record, going for this strategy does not require "collusion" or cooperation between two alliances... one alliance can do it by themselves fairly effectively.

They can just park one robot in front of each of their own goals, to make sure that the opposing alliance doesn't "helpfully" score on their behalf, and then use the third robot to pass balls towards the opponents end of the field, making it easier for them to score.

Boring match, yes. Not a great way to show off your robot for alliance selections? No. But a good strategy to employ should you ever face off against a notably superior alliance? You bet.

The rule of the game this year, whether we like it or not, is "if you think you're outmatched... give in."
