Terrifying Karthik

[IronicDeadBird]

90% of robots are going to have a low profile on a field that already has hard lines of sight and bad visibility for drivers.
Don't worry though the refs will see everything better due to better LOS and positioning so when you ask.
"Why are we getting a foul?"
The answer could easily be...
"Cause we are caught in the secret passage and making contact with a robot we can't see due to poor lines of sight."
or
"Cause you are making contact with a robot traversing a defense and you shouldn't be doing that."
What about the spy?
The one spy who will obviously not be invested first and foremost in just watching his or her own team, and even with good awareness communication from station to spybox involves two people who have eyes on the field suddenly deciding they want to look somewhere besides where everything is going on for second hand information from someone who may not even be looking at what you need to know.
90% of robots are planning on using the same point for transportation. Remember those movie scenes where 90% of people are stuck in a disaster and everyone goes "Now would be a very good time to take the quickest way out of town nobody else will be doing that right now". Oh also some people will be taking that one exit because in some instances they cannot physically take any other street due to defensive counter picks, it is the same as before except its one of the movies where everyone on an island is facing a disaster and they all converge on the one bridge to make a run for it.
Its a major bottleneck on scoring that could easily destroy teams score cycle times, which can easily be blockaded. If 90% of teams can only go under the low bar then in a majority of matches you could park a robot on each side of the low bar and your opponent couldn't move you out of the way because no robot is going to be designed to pull a robot away from a defense.
Actually no... My guess is maybe just maybe.
Maybe Karthik just hates limbo.
