Re: Feeder Robots: Do They Exist?

During late quals and all of elims at FLR, I don't think I ever saw a single robot enter their lane to get a tube. The strategy became all of the human players chucking as many tubes into the center of the field as fast as they can and both alliances basically pulled from the same pool of tubes. While I doubt this was in the GDC's original intent, the extra level of competition between alliances to control the game pieces made the matches 10x more interesting.

I also saw the human players actively attacking opponents by throwing tubes at them while trying to score. Surprisingly effective!
