[YMTC]: Robot Ability

[ALIBI]

Redabot only has two choices. 1: Go Against Alliance or 2: Go With Alliance. A negative reputation of going against what the majority of an alliance wants to do is probably more damaging to a team than the benefits of showing off their offensive ability. Redabot should go with the alliance strategy.

We had several teams that had agreed to a certain strategy before the match and then went out and did something totally different. I.E. Bot A: play deffense - climb ramp. Bot B: play offense - climb ramp. Bot C: play offense - deploy ramp. Within 30 seconds Bot A deploys their own ramp withour ever playing deffense. Needless to say, the alliance looses. Bot C ended up in the top eight, Bot A was not on their list.

Redabot should have pointed out that the opposing alliance would be expecting the strong offensive bots to score and the previous deffensive only redabot to play deffense. As a scout, I would all ready know that the two strong offensive bots could score and that redabot was a strong deffensive bot. Assuming the redabot could score effectively, wouldn't it better the allinace to 1: surprise the opposing alliance by switching roles 2: give redabot a chance to show they can also play offense and give one of the other strong offensive bots a chance to show that they can play deffense or 3: go on an all out offensive attack and get at least a row of seven, watch to make sure that the opposing alliance doesn't get more than a row of three, if so, plan to switch at least one robot to deffense.
