Re: What Will be Your Robot's Primary Focus?

I cannot answer this question, as a possible strategy of ours is a hybrid.

We had a similar strategy in Breakaway where we picked up stray balls and kick them onto our side of the field. A more general approach of this would be to prevent the other team from using balls. This of course will be more complex to handle, but not too separate from other games.

We played out the game in our gym, and I was scoring points from balls that we're right around my area. Based off of personal experience, gathering surrounding balls on the opponents zone seems to be successful.

Re: What Will be Your Robot's Primary Focus?

I agree with Donut at the top on the issue of a ball transport robot

My team has been thinking that it would be nice to have someone in the alliance be an all time shooter, someone be ball transport and be able to balance, and another robot that can shoot and balance.

Wait, how does this apply do defense/offense? They can choose to wait and return the balls when they go back to get them. Are you saying that defense on the way will be the important thing? Seems to me like ridiculous pushing power is the solution to that.
