Go to Post I want to see the [game] animation robot with the plunger to pick up balls and the boots that spin to kick them. Could you do that please. It would be very awesome. :D - the man [more]

Advantageous to Take a G34 Penalty

Over the weekend I saw a team reveal that it may be strategically advantageous to take a G34 in eliminations, especially towards the end when defending robots tend to move to the opponent's courtyard.

Towards the end of one of our matches, our alliance partner parked in the opponent's secret passage, just waiting for boulders to be reintroduced into the field. The opposing alliance had well over the 6 boulders (at least 9 based on the penalty). The human player, not wanting to feed the balls back in just to be scored again, held onto the ball and intentionally did not put it back into play.

It seems that there may be a scenario where you could delay and possible prevent a capture (25 points) by holding onto those balls.

For the record, I don't know whether it was an intentional strategy or simply a reaction to the situation by the human player, but after reading through the rules it is clear that a human player doesn't necessarily receive a yellow card for impeding the flow of the match. It seems in this scenario they may be called for repeated violations, but it's not as clear as the robot rules around impeding the flow of the game.
