We used a similar "play dead" strategy at Epcot this year. It was really funny, because we fooled the announcer, our opponents, and even a few team members. At the beginning of the match we didn't move any, and then looked at our robot in astonishment. The announcer even said that "201 is still dead in their home zone" or something to that effect. We waited until there was about a minute left in the match, then took off, grabbed a goal from an opponent, grabbed one from our partner, parked, tethered back home, and won the watch 39-38 and got 114 QP's.
