Yes, stacking totes as high as you can and topping them with a RC is the objective every week, you are correct. However, the flow of the match changes as the season progresses and teams get better. 2011, 2012, 2013. None of these years had the flow of the match change at the season progressed.

This is just a trend of teams having unique ideas and then other teams implementing them.

Last year's competition was a great example. Almost no one in our region did a truss shot to the human player. By week 4, it became common. Almost no one had the idea of lining themselves up at the low goal and shooting into the high goal to prevent defense skewing shots. By week 4, it became common. Almost no one had the idea of a two ball autonomous. By week 4, it was commonplace for the better teams of the game to have a two-ball autonomous that implemented a form of vision tracking.
