Spy-bot Question

[rich2202]

A spy bot is the same as any other bot. The only difference is the starting position.

For a 2 boulder autonomus, starting in the Spy Bot position is huge. It would:

1) Shoot Boulder High (10 points)
2) Drive across Low Bar
3) Get a Boulder from the Mid-line (without touching the Mid-line)
4) Drive back over the Low Bar (and score 10 crossing points)
5) Shoot 2nd Boulder High (10 points)

Instead of 3 crossings, it only has to do 2. And, it is already lined up to shoot at the beginning of Autonomus.

Might I also add that, per G13, it also can't cross the midline, therefore it has to grab less than half of the ball.

Violation: FOUL. If contact is made with an opponent ROBOT beyond the MIDLINE, an additional
FOUL is assessed and the opponent ROBOT is immediately awarded the CROSSING of the
closest DEFENSE from the point of contact.
