Blocking the endzone with tetras

[sirbleedsalot]

Isn't this just a waste of time, because it is only 10 Pt's, and many teams will not be able to maneuver all 3 robots behind the line at the end of the match.

Hypotheticly...
There is an alliance of 2 amazing robots who are the perfect compliment to each other and need no extra help whatsoever. The third robot can drive, period. The two good robots are going to do what they do best. "The little robot that could" can do a couple of things: score 1 pt. tetras or play defense OR put tetras in the other teams zone effectively staying out of the way of its alliance partners and playing defense on the opposition while at the same time...possibly scoring those tetras if the opponents decide to knock them under the tetras in their row for 1 pt. appiece.

From the looks of it, its not too bad of a strategy. This is all of course as Dave said... if your opponents plan on returning back before the timer.

I was referring back to the thread starter's idea of stacking a large amount of tetras in their loading area so it would be more difficult for them to move the tetras.

It doesn't seem that he meant to stack them, but to put them there to occupy space.

Thats right that sin't what i ment. what i ment was in like the last 20 seconds a robot on you team put a tetra of your own onto the other side.
cause you would only ned maybe 3 on their side so at least 1 of there robots can't go in. and im sorry if any of you couldn not understand what i was saying earler i was typing fast.
