Indeed! Right now, we've narrowed it down to 3 motions/appendages and... what the heck with the low bar!... uh... any suggestions?

Certainly if we can breach defenses we can drive and push boulders into low goals, but only if the alliance members are too busy or unable. Breaching is 40 game pts plus guaranteed RP. Capturing requires 8 boulders (ranging game point combos from 8-40 pts) and only a RP is all three 'bots at least challenge. Especially in early weeks and matches, that is NOT guaranteed!

As for withholding allowance - oh, yes! Definitely!
