Re: Two Questions Regarding Hurdling

I can't remember which team it was, but at Seattle a robot blocked the launchers to great effect. They had a tall robot designed to knock balls off the overpass. They would position themselves in the homestretch of the other alliance and just sit. If bumped, they would move off, but the launcher would then be too close to shoot. If the launcher fired from its optimum range, they would either hit the blocking bot, or have to maneuver into a clear position to fire. In either event, the defender either blocked the shot, forced the shooter into a bad location to launch, or simply wasted some of the shooter's precious time. It was a nice strategy, and one that I am surprised not to have seen on Webcasts of other Regionals.
