Can't argue with that Jack!
Tough one to call though - I was told that high speed ramming is still high speed ramming - even in Auton (by a head ref whom I respect alot)
But, what else can an alliance do other than guess where each others robots are going to end up in auton? We didn't include collision avoidance software programming this year.
In auton you can try and send all 3 out to score and hope they don't knock each other off coarse. You can sit still during auton in preparation for offense or defense - whichever comes next for you, or you can at least try and have one of the alliance partners "block" the way of the opposing robots. Notice I didn't say ram them off their path to their shooting spot, still all in all - I agree that starving the scoring alliance makes sense, if you also have someone on your alliance that can score.
