ball corral block, good or bad?

[westfalia]

When Miss Daisy finally started working the way we hoped she would, we found that a both offensive and defensive strategy was required to win, it's only logical! For the offensive, we were able to hang and herd a decent number of balls. In the defense, we weren't afraid to play spoiler when it came time for opponents to try to hang. We also blocked a few corrals in our rounds. In our case, I think we really benefitted from the ability to block the ball corrals. It seemed to me like a cheap strategy at first, but I realized that we definitely weren't the first to implement the idea. So my opinion is that it's perfectly okay, and it makes for an EVEN MORE EXCITING game, if that's at all possible. I've seen quite a few pushing matches between large-quantity ball catchers and other robots. I love it.
