And somehow, they managed to analyze it such that they could score 18 points in each side goal for every six in the top. Beats me.

Don't worry, I set them straight

We watched a video of Einstein that year, and it really does go to show that you have absolutely no idea how the game will end up being played until competition. It was a great lesson for new members; something you can't communicate just by saying 'it doesn't work out the way you think it does sometimes'

Again, thanks.

A quick low goal scorer with a large capacity could be a great asset. If all it does is play D and collect balls all match and then dumps them into the side goals in the last couple seconds (15s?) it could swing the game. Every ball you take out of play from the floor is a ball your opponents don't have. If I recall 322 did pretty much this exact strategy. I seem to recall them winning a regional.


Edit: Also don't underestimate how irritating 1 ball in the low goal can be... I think Aren will agree with this statement.
