"Assist bot strategy" would be very effective with an accurate high shooter. The high shooter could, in theory, sit in one spot, scoring high goals with boulders from an assist bot. This would get the tower down quickly, allowing for a capture. The third robot would have to be effective at damaging at least three categories of defense quickly, so the alliance will earn the RP (or points) from the breach.

This combination has the potential to be deadly, if used properly. Some alliances at Palmetto attempted to employ it, but not completely successfully since the robot that was supposed to be assisting ended up shooting the ball themselves.
