Go to Post Code doesn't break. It reacts exactly the same time every time. When something new happens that never happened before, it's because the mechanicals, electricals or drivers gave the code some new stimulus that wasn't tested before. - GaryVoshol [more]

Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

Have your 3rd robot start with a ball in its intake lined up directly with the boulder the 2 Ball opponent would grab. Reverse intake at high speed, hitting the ball on the center line and hopefully knocking it out of position enough that the 2 Ball robot fails to acquire either ball. Alternatively if the ball does not move far you have now placed two balls very close together and the autonomous 2 Ball robot runs the risk of possessing two balls simultaneously while trying to acquire the center ball. If this occurs the 2 Ball robot will incur both a G38 and G41 foul for crossing the defense with 2 boulders, at worst cancelling out the extra goal with the 10 point plus tower strength increase penalties (this assumes the robot somehow scores despite 2 balls in an intake not designed for it).

You run no risk of penalties for crossing the midline or contact with this strategy. You sacrifice scoring a ball yourself, but for a low goal or defensive third pick defending a 10 point goal is a net positive versus 5 or no points yourself.
