I would highly advise against a robot stationed in its own defensive zone trying to hang. This happened to us in the quarters at SVR. Our alliance stationed 846 in the defensive zone, and they did a
great job of blocking shots up until that 20 second mark. Then they went to go hang. I wasn't watching them because we were in the offensive zone, pumping in balls (3129 single-handedly scored 8 points that match

). While 846 did hang successfully, I was told by our human player and another alliance member that our opponents used the opening to score 6 shots. Final score: 13 to 10, them.
If robots on your alliance are going to hang, they should
not be playing goalie. They should be in the front or neutral zones.
