In BAE 1073 and their alliance reigned victorious over 78 and their alliance members through the aid of this tactic. 78 was in their own near zone and attempting to score. However, whenever their vacuum would gain possession of a soccer ball, the defending robot would tap/ram (perspective) them so they lost hold of the game piece. Hence, denying them from successfully scoring much needed points. |
Haha, many times it was a lighter ram due to our driver trying to get away from 134 (they are REALLY good at defense), but most of the time all three robots (two red one blue) were together as a group making it impossible for balls to be shot. We have a picture that they sent to us with them pushing our robot and we have two wheels on the ground. With two strong drive trains going at it, you will have airborne robots.
Our strategy was very plain. One bot in each zone, one defense two offense.
