It looked like they could shoot THROUGH the opponent's pyramid and still make shots. A few times they strafed all the way over to the unprotected feeder and resumed FCS from there.

A video to show our shooter can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWGYaSL-YE0

And a video of one of our matches with our strafing technique can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr7AQm-zfYU

That also brings me to a very cool concept a saw throughout the season: 2046 using a flyswatter-type device for blocking. Was very amusing to watch, as well as the many other robots who used very unique blockers (610's giant pink one is a top contender as well).
