They will have one robot that has the ball and 2 escorting I have seen very few robots run an effective defense against a 2v1.
We don't need to peel you out of the corner if being in the corner is detrimental to your team. Every opposing robot that is sitting in a corner is one less robot we need to worry about disrupting a cycle.
How long does a 3 assist cycle take vs a 2 assist? And don't forget about a third robot dedicated to defense. It's a fun thought exercise to armchair on CD...

We ran the math on all of this right after kickoff and came up with a strategy that has paid off for us. I'm not going to claim it is 100% effective in all cases and I know it can be disrupted.

Fact is, it won us a regional and an engineering award and we have had a blast doing it. I'll take that any day.
