I've gotten to 31, and 26 on video. The only problem is my game isn't saving replays automatically for some reason so I have to turn on my screen capture program in advance to get proof of my high scores.
Some pro tips for getting high scores:
- Ignore the 4th ball in the back
- Get your cycle going evenly and quickly with 5 balls in it
- Drive forward as you kick.
- Don't be afraid to "plunge" into the forward zone if there are more than 3 balls in the path of the goal. A good rule of thumb is that if there are more on the floor in front of the goal than on the return in the last 30, take the plunge and exploit the return glitches for extra points. (This is a good reason to cycle toward the right, since the return glitch bounces balls there)

I'm interested to see what the best 3v3 strategies are. At the Championship, I noticed a lot more Goalie use than I thought. Games were often decided by lockups, and unlike FRC pushing matches, lockups leave teams at a standstill. Tunnelers, since they basically can't strafe with the ball, are effectively useless with the tunnel so congested and their kick range so little. My general strategy was to run a cycler, a generally frontbot who could run picks for the cycler in either the front or middle zone, and then a pure flex bot that would advance for the 2v1 or back out for d. None of these were well suited to Goalies.
If they have 5th Gear at IRI again... I know where I'll be on every single break.
