Best Game STRATEGY

[Revolverx7]

With my teams robot the strategy I stated earlier works great because we just keep capping over other caps fast instead of taking a risky and time consumeing route of defence.

Another good thing to do is if the opposing alliance is very strong you can just stick with the back row and middle row. Putting two robots on offence keeping them on your side of the field and one robot to play defence that circles the center goal so no one can get into your side of the field. This strategy is also good for keeping up your QP's because it allows the opposing team to get a row and as many caps on top of those they want.

The favorite strategy that I saw employed this year was the Red Alliance of 1641, 1266, and 1378 against the Blue Alliance of 1324, 399, and 585 in the Quarterfinals at Las Vegas.

In one of the matches, the Red Alliance took 3 tetras immediately and rushed the Blue side, attempting to cap the Blue Home Row almost immediately. Sadly, the strategy wasn't fully implemented as Red would have wished, but it was an awesome strategy to watch.

I saw that....didn't work too well though ...IIRC only one tetra was put on, and they ended up losing the match. Would have made for an interesting match if it did work.

As far as our strategy was concerned, it varied greatly depending on the robots in our alliance. One strategy that I liked was capping one of the corners on the opponents side, and we would usually try to work that in somewhere if possible - and it usually worked pretty well. We tried to plan most of it out beforehand, but some times things wouldn't go as planned so we had to do things on the fly. We tried never to cap a goal we already owned, and I think that helped a lot as far as wins go...sometimes you see two red tetras in a row on a goal, and if one of those was on a blue goal it could have made the difference.
