Re: ball corral block, good or bad?

At St. Louis they were giving penaties for the goal crossing the plain, at Peach Tree they didn't. Did FIRST relax the rules?

I do think it is a valid strategy and one that could determine the outcome of the match. This years game can be won with a lot of small balls and capping or by hanging (better yet, both). In watching the Midwest regional this weekend many of the highest scoring matches involved capped goals with lots of 5pt balls. If my memory is correct the 210pt. match was with only one robot hanging. 17 balls divided in two goals both capped, one robot hanging and a 10pt penalty. If someone had blocked the ball corals it would have been a differnt outcome.

My two cents worth!

P.S. The human players were using balls to push the goals out of the way at Peach Tree!
