Re: Picking up balls or not

The crux of this game is different - in 2006 the human players couldn't score points directly. Human players - espcially the outpost players, have a great opportunity to contribute and to score.

So your question is more complex - should your human players be shooting them at your robot or the other robot?

1. What's the risk, if they miss, that the ball ends up in the trailer?
2. Can they score in the trailers of opposing teams accurately?
3. Is it worth the time it will take to move back to be reloaded? Holy - slow -motion Batman!

The correct balance of human scoring and robot scoring will win this - but It will probably take 3 weeks of regionals before we begin to see winning patterns emerge.
