Re: Ball Capacity? How Much is Too Much? And Can You Use It For A Strategical Advanta

In 2005 (Triple Play) we were silly enough to think we could stack 3 or 4 tetras on the base of our robot and drive around scoring them. This was in New England (where we tend to get away with more defense), but still. When you have lots of game objects, you become a target. Sure, this year is a little different in that if you're opponent blocks you in you become a scoring target. But, I think anyone who thinks they'll be able to dump in 20 balls at a time is sorely mistaken.

I think it's really driven by how quickly after autonomous you can dump your starting load. It'd be a shame to miss balls you could've easily collected because you had yet to dump your original seven.

Oh, and if the A-Bomb makes a comeback (and we get to see it more than like twice) that'd be awesome.
