Re: Team 39 building 469 stopper solution (Available in Las Vegas)

The way you stop this strategy is by getting more balls in your own home zone at the beginning of the match... 469 depends on its alliance partners to get the balls in the home zone.. If you noticed ... alll 3 robots are participating in this strategy... where are the other two blue robots... ?? they should be scoring on the other end...with no opposition...with no opposition... the other team should be able to score even faster...as long as they have a middle blocker to kick balls into the home zone...or to just block them back in...

While this is a super strategy... if another alliance can get more balls at the beginning of the match it can be defeated...especially if you have a defensive robot that can knock balls out of the defended zone quickly and efficiently..

In these matches... (notably the finals from Cass Tech) you can see loose balls in the midfield and no blue robot (or opposing robot) is sweeping them up and depositing them in their other home zone...)

If 469 or another robot like them parks like this... they are completely taken out of the mix to do anything other than direct scored balls back.....if the defender in the home zone can sweep balls out... or slow down the scoring enough to let his team mates score...

The way this game is won is by controlling the balls...
Team 469 has a great mechanism... but it can't help a team that hasn't scored.. or doesn't have balls to score with...

You beat this strategy by controlling the balls at the beginning of the match... and maintaining control...throughout...

A tall order I know... but you will see it in Atlanta...
