The Chokehold Strategy of 2016?

Red robots could also work together to keep the defense on one side of the arc. I know at Arizona North, 2122 was pushing robots trying to block team 125's vision.

If you have a robot herd a boulder out of the secret passage and in running your plan push that boulder back into their secret passage I believe that is a foul.
The current meta doesn't involve teams diving into the secret passage for balls when the human player can bowl them into the neutral.

So yeah the strategy would kinda work but it isn't a choke hold. And as stated before you got G21 flipped around. If you ran this you would actually pull fouls because a robot has the right of way in their own secret passage in regards to an opposing robot.

Also I'm agreeing with Rangel if that isn't clear dude knew his bidnizz in Arizona North
