I see the most common strategy prolly being get control of at least one goal and one ramp.. which most teams can fairly guarantee each match.. then, winner will be determined by base points and time cutoff.... to which a lot of factors can cut in..

However, the risk-takers will make some of the most beautiful plays of the day.. i wanna see a limbo bot that can make it over the wood WITHOUT a running start.. come talk to me, i've got a strategy for ya..

And yes, I think the game favors those who can balance one goal.. whether on or off the bridge... and those robots who can score on a balanced bridge WITHOUT unbalancing it..

So in my opinion: the top seeds will belong to those who grab one goal, fill it up with their balls, balance it.. maybe get a ball up in under 1minute..

The major highs and drastic lows will belong to those who attempt to control boths goal, or both ramps, who try throwing their balls in the other goal.. who steal balls, who try and defend others from getting in the endzone.. etc etc etc..

The winners: the risk-takers. the ones who will risk getting both goals at the cost of maybe losing them. Will be interesting!
