With the Michigan State Championship next weekend, I believe that the better robots will be able to do this quite well.

In my opinion, blocking the tunnel helped, but didn't work well enough. 469 has proved that they have a more then capable kickerto score from the mid zone. A 2 v 3 match doesn't often work. The most successfull strategy will be a robot that can block the tunnel at will. This robot could block the tunnel in auto, then come out of it to not let them shoot, then go back in the tunnel if need be. The bees had a different strategy in the first match of the finals that seemed to work well, kick all the balls out of the far zone, this leaves a 2 v 1 seniro in the rest of the field with very few balls in the cycle.
