Re: How much Bridge Space does your robot need?

It is for many of these reasons we choose to build a platform bot to carry a third bot onto the bridge in Elim's. You can build the the best offensive shooter, but if you can't guarantee the coop bridge, there's no telling where you may be ranked come Saturday. So by building a platform bot, we feel that even if we are ranked outside the top five, we can help guarantee the 40 points in Elim's, no matter the size of the bots in our alliance. Our strategy in Elim's will be simple... make our two shots in auto, go to the other side of the field and steal balls. Then after a minute or so we begin to stack a robot, leaving our most offensive bot to get on the ramp with 15-30 sec to go. By starving the field of balls for half the match we can better our chances of winning the Elim's with a 3 bot balance. Also seeing a bot carry another bot when balancing will hopefully be worth an award of some kind!
