And if they're lined up in the red alley? What does B3 do then?

Someone's going to say that you prevent red from crossing to the other side. Well, only 2 bots need to do that, and R3 (or whomever) that stays is going to be perilously close to the bridge for B3 to run into them without the possibility of a technical, and automatic 40 points for red.

If R1 & R2 are good enough to A) be in eliminations at Worlds, and B) capable of balancing very quickly, they're going to be good enough to get across the barrier. Unless blue dedicates two bots to prevent this (which means they're not scoring) the red bots are going to get across, and they probably will anyway. Watch video of the eliminations in Kansas City, where the Bomb Squad did this repeatedly against attempts to block them. http://www.more.net/content/2012-fir...-final-matches. Sorry I don't have an exact match or time for an example; I have to get on the road to St. Louis.

What am I missing?
