How viable is full court Assisting?

[Ginger Power]

I think the Zebracorns (team 900) proved Full Court Assisting to be extremely viable. They very nearly won Palmetto with this strategy. I believe 2451 also performed a version of this strategy and we're very successful at Central Illinois.

Edit: Just started watching 148 in Elims they are full court assisting to 2468 (very successfully might I add )

I just watched a match with 148 and another team doing really well, 148 would FCA to the human player who would imbound while their partner played defense, great strategy!

4901 had the exact same strategy as 900, except we found it uneccesary to shoot the ball off the field. However we only had 2 maybe 3 matches where our parners worked well enough to execute the strategy. So apparently none of the scouters at Palmetto payyed attention to those matches where we were the ONLY team on an alliance moving.

Sorry. Week 1 rage is kicking in.

Thank you for noticing. Honestly, the biggest problems we had were with human players loading the ball and catching it. We worked out the catching pretty quickly with our own HP but the loading is tricky. We are going to improve the design for the NC Regional and hopefully other teams will begin to understand the importance of putting a more talented human player on the field. The human player is very undervalued from what we saw in Palmetto.

Lead scouter from team 900 here. We looked at your data Friday and saw that you guys had a really great bot, but boy you guys had a HORRENDOUS schedule! It's a real shame our strategies couldn't overlap. Just wanted to let you know that you guys were noticed.

Notes taken for our first regional which isn't until week 5 Any other tips for us they would be greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed watching your robot by the way!

This my 6th year with FRC and I've never faced such bad schedule luck. Thanks so much for confirming that it wasnt my imagination. I mean it.
