Low Bar Poll, part 2

[team-4480]

Our strategy is to be able to defeat B, C, D and low bar defenses while still shooting in the high goal. We are choosing not to shoot from far away. We thought that if we are going all the way to the low goal, we might as well have a consistent uber close range high goal shooter. So for our shot, we plan on being on the batter which could help defend against any sideswipes but it could make getting out harder.

I don't think there will be too much of a problem with traffic if the two offensive robots communicate often on what they are planning to do. If the offense is not communicating to each other, that will be quite a mess....

You make a really good point here. An alliance of hybrid tower-breach bots is only as powerful as the communication between teams. If communication isn't good, that alliance will struggle to do much of anything.

This poll is astounding to me. The "Jack of all trades" role is typically the worst role to take on (we've all seen the karthik thing, so I'm not going to discuss why), and few teams have the ability to adapt to their flaws during and between competitions. And, with the number of people crying for a shooting game after last season, I figured there'd be a lot of teams who would single out shooting as a singular priority.
