Re: Can you place boulders in the outerworks?

The fastest way to feed a dedicated high shooter bot I can think of , would be from HP bowling to Limbo bot to intake and cross Low Bar to Courtyard then drop off and rinse repeat

Or alternatively... Use Midline boulders to cross and drop.

Not sure if it saves that much time though having to transfer boulders between teams then shoot. As we should all know relying on other bots can be problematic.

Re: Can you place boulders in the outerworks?

Quality high goal shooters will tend to be high bots with high CoG, making them unstable when crossing defenses. The best way to optimize your alliance's strategy would be to have an assisting robot (<15" height) ferry balls from the Secret Passage to the opponent's courtyard, almost entirely mitigating the need for the high goal shooter to move. However, it would be wise to bring the balls at the same pace that the HGS (High Goal Shooter) fires, so that the opposing defensive robot is unable to simply drive in between the HGS and the balls.

I disagree with most of this.
Effective shooters will be of all heights, and should be able to cross some defense effectively.
There are certainly strategies where feeding your shooter makes sense, but I don't know that crossing through the low bar is the "best" way to feed balls to your partner, nor is it safe to assume your partner won't be able to cross under the low bar themselves.

Just be careful with making sweeping assumptions about the capabilities of all other robots.
