You were not playing competitive Aerial Assist at a high level of play then. The entire fame was teamwork and coordinated defence without detracting from your own score.

This game has almost no match strategy.

I think every game has had some level of strategy. At lower levels of play and earlier competitions, where teams are struggling to figure out how control and move game pieces, there won't be much of it. But the same was true last year--many matches (even when we competed during week 4) had very little strategy. We spent at least one match not moving, and then had to figure out how to control the yoga balls. It wasn't until much later that we figured out which roles we could play well.

This year, for very strong alliances, strategy will be key to them winning. They can't just tell their third bot to just inbound a ball and then play defense. Every robot will either contribute or be essentially useless. Robots may play very different, separate roles, but I'd still consider it a strategic game.

Like always, the range of matches will be huge, from little to no strategy in week 1 or less competitive to incredible alliances on Einstein. In the first set, matches will be difficult to watch and strategy won't play as huge a role, since just being able to control game pieces is usually enough. In the second, with many capable robots, how they divide up tasks will be crucial.

But only time can show what this game will bring.
