Re: 2014: the year of the underdog

Todd put together a great summary of the possibilities this year.

I think we'll end up with more teams playing a ground game this year. There are too many chances to lose control of the ball when it is in the air:
- If you're trying to catch after going over the truss, a small bump to the receiver will strip them of the 10 points for catching, and the ball is loose on the field.
- If you are trying to shoot at the goal and get hit/moved, you miss the goal and the ball is loose on the field.
I suspect passing on the floor will be used with robots close to each other. Again, if you lose control of your ball, you're sunk.
