How viable is full court Assisting?

Maybe some missed it in the initial game analysis, but if I am Red alliance there are 4 spots in the red zone I can park my robot where defense cannot move or block me. If I have a catching device, and the 'perfect' full court assist partner is parked in the parallel location in the blue zone, then that's game. Our 3rd alliance partner can play defense on Blue alliance or can park in front of the FCA in case someone is tall enough to attempt a block in front of it.

If none of the robots have to move to complete a cycle, can our alliance break 300 in a match?

Mind sufficiently blown. I don't think we will see this, but it is still awesome and I am mad at myself for not seeing it.

I think aiming for running quick solo cycles is probably the most efficient and likely way to do something in this spirit and something we are going to see a lot of, especially in the early regionals. You can run a solo cycle straight to the goal in 5-10 seconds assuming accuracy (which is never safe to assume). But theoretically you can run 22-44 cycles a match in your perfect scenario. That is a lot of points.
