I'm not sure if that is part of the game the GDC wants to allow or an oversight.

I hadn't thought of that, but based on the game name, maybe that is the intent of the bowling balls

I'm excited to dive into a game that should have some nice strategic variety.

I think this game would get really interesting if four teams show up to the same match with multiple autonomous options that work. There is some room for putting stuff in the opposing alliance's way and for pushing away the targets that they're trying to manipulate autonomously. It would be pretty fun to anticipate a move like that and thwart it with a different autonomous routine. That might be a pipe dream, but it sounds pretty fun.

Does anybody know if there is an active FTC forum anywhere? The main FIRST site doesn't satisfy my idea of "active" and I don't know of any other places to look.
