Best Game STRATEGY

[Revolverx7]

The stategy that won us SBPLI and made us finalists in Drexel is similar to the strategy allready stated.

First you get your home row.
Second you go down either the left or right side of the field.
Third at the end of the match get the center.

It doesn't matter who you are playing, as long as 2 robots can cap it doesn't matter what the third can do, although it is great if all three can cap. If all 3 can cap then set each robot on 2 goals, first robot gets middle left and far left, second robot gets back left and back center, and the last gets middle middle and back right. Of course there is variations on who gets what goal but as long as you keep recapping the goals you want the strategy holds strong.

Thats the same strategy my team used most of the time. Being able to stack 6 tetras a match let us complete the L(back row and one side) by ourselves which we had to do a couple of times. Unfortunatly we were left in a similar situation in the finals. At which point its not enough to just cap goals, they'll quickly switch hands back and forth. You have to take them and defend them. A much tougher task.

Strategy really depends on the robots that you are with and what your robot can do
if your robot is a fast efficient stacker then you will probably just try to stack as many tetras as possible in the match and not worry about defense
if your robot has defensive capabilities and you are the only robot that has those capabilities on your alliance you will probably play defesne for that match
now for some of the specific strategies i have seen in the regionals: some are to stack the other alliances corner goals, towards the end of the match because if u can own that goal then u can have 2 more rows added to ur home row and center row
for advice for operators and drivers before a match: have a general game plan and talk with your other alliance partners, u wanna make sure that when you go out there u kno wat goals ur going to stack and if ur gonna come back for ten points, etc...now the strategy may change on the field due to a robot being broken or flipped over, etc. and thats wat the coaches are for to give u more eyes on the field and tell u wat to do if the strategy does change
