Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
That's true, but if you put out the spoilers at the end and ruin their chance of getting high scores, to react they would have to drop others off, losing valueable points, while we're stacking up to get bonus points!

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
Yeah Thats true and would work for the teams who are going for the points but what about the alliances that can't do that would you have a different stragergy?

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
My tactic would to place it at the beginning of the match only if you are ahead in points. The idea is to place the spoilers and then cover then with a ringer, so that the spoiler cannot be removed. That assures that your opponent cannot use the spoilers at the end of the match to break up your rows and columns which you worked so hard to score and defend. Remember, if your ringer is over a spoiler not only can the spoiler not be removed, the ringer on top counts for points. Spoilers are your friend if you're losing but your enemy if you're winning.

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
That is very true and a good idea but that would be a waste of a spoiler isn't it?

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
Yes, but it still prevents your enemy from using it. And unless I have read the rules wrong, it seems to me that if you need the spoiler, you can take your ringer off, move the spoiler to a better position, and replace the ringer.

Reread them. You're descoring a ringer (not sure if doing it to yourself is a penalty, but opponents would get the penalty if they did it).

My opinion is that it doesn't makes sense to use them any time other than the end, how can you strategically break up the other alliances rows if they haven't had time to score them? |

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
It depends on your robot, if your robot can lift teammates up at the end then go for the extra 15 points but at the end of the game or the last 15 seconds anyways teams arn't alould to go to their opponets homebase side, I read.... So you can't intefere with the lifting the robot up part so it'll be hard to put a spoiler on if the opposite side your not alould to go on!!!!

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
I have a question for all of you that reply with you will be puttin spoilers in the last 30 seconds.
Will you guys be trying to get back to the homezone and lifted? Are you gong to be playing defense? |

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
One thing for Defense in the Rules they state in the lats 15 seconds you are not alould to go to opponet's homezone, so you really couldn't play defense in the last 30 seconds and for the lifting part some teams might go for the extra 15, 30 points or the team might place Spoilers you'll never know till compitition.

I think that if you are a ramp bot, you shouldn't worry about the spoliers, the ramp bots' sole purpose should be to return to the home zone in the last 30 seconds of the game, clear an area to deploy...and deploy or get ready to lift. The job of placing the spoliers should belong to the other two robots. Spoliers should be placed when there is 30 seconds left in the game. and when there is 10 seconds left, abandon what you are doing and get on the ramp. if you are being lifted, probably should start heading back sooner. |

I think that he is suggesting that by placing Ringers diagonally(not in rows) you could prevent the other alliances from making rows.

Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)
True but you'll first have to get to the other side first before the 3 teams are able to make rows!!!!!!!!
