Go to Post After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. - negfrequency [more]

Who says a blocker needs to be everywhere at once? As long as you can see 'em coming you can get in their way.

Of course, you'll want to think this through strategically. Is it likely that the other alliance will cross both of their lines and get to where you're blocking? Is it likely that YOUR alliance will get to that point, at which point you'll be in the way? Are you confident enough in your robot (both mechanically and in programming) that you won't go over the line and get a penalty for going against traffic? Is it more worthwhile to go after the 4 easy, and 8 doable points? Or is it a good thing to have a defensive autonomous to pull out of your bag 'o tricks, should it become necessary in the final rounds? All things to think about...
