The Chokehold Strategy

[Hubicki]

Well, it's quite obvious that MOE isn't designed for scoring a lot of Qualification points, they're an excellent elimination robot (sorry we broke your chain in VA ). MOE doesn't leave much of an alternative for the other alliance other than push till your motors die, if they get all three goals. I wasn't refering to match like that where one team monopolizes all of the points. I was more refering to a Q-match where an alliance sets up a score with a small point differential (like 35-34) and the team pulls their robots to get 35-14. I just got word that this happenned a LOT in NJ. In fact, we were victim of it twice and it cost us #1 seed. In fact, the common denominator was one team who did that in a lot of losing matches. As to the match with 365, maybe you should have stayed in the zone, but I wasn't there to see the context of the situation. But believe me when I say that I know what it feels like to get whomped by MOE in a Q-match (good job MOE )
