Teamwork Strategy for Scoring

After they dump balls in and give the specialist a chance to load up the trailer, they move to the next opponent robot(R2). B3 and B1 engage R2 in front of a different payload specialist(PL2), whose ball supply will not be depleted. B2 runs interference to keep R1 and R3 away.

Repeat process for R3.

Ideally this would occur in front of corner PL specialists, to increase the effectiveness of the third robot out running interference.

You got it. I think teamworking alliances will dominate this year.
