That is an awesome strategy. This game allows for such awesome strategy, its amazing. Wouldn't making a ball collecting/shooting robot be too complex it may break down too easily or just plain not work?
Should shooter bots incorporate a hopper that allows alliance gatherers to unload in their bots? Should gathering robots have a mechanism to unload balls into shooting robots?
Advantages: Gatherers do their thing, shooter's don't have to load themselves or run back to the alliance ball corrals.
Disadvantages: BIGGEST: with one but not the other, this strategy fails. Easily defended.
Verdict: A nice idea, but unrealistic.
Do you think that most robots will be:
Gatherers/Unloaders
or Shooters but not both?
