Re: Calling All Drivers

speaking to your alliance beforehand is of the utmost importance. without any team chemistry whatsoever, your chances of succeeding are slim to none.

stay in your alliance's "safe zones." this refers to the areas where your alliance's payload specialists are located. this is especially important if you are facing an alliance with robots that are not large scorers b/c the PS is the only way that they will be able to score in bunches.

this is more to the programmers... but please PLEASE move your robot in autonomous... it is very difficult to get up a strategy knowing that as soon as you gain control of your robot, you may already be down by 20+ points.

super cells are important! if you can pick up off of the floor, but you are not a very reliable scorer, you may want to seriously consider becoming an empty cell runner. a robot that specializes in running empty cells is a very hot commodity to a winning alliance... b/c i know that scoring teams like ours do not want to have to mess with the empty cells b/c it slows us down and messes up our groove.

the obvious: keep moving. the longer you sit, the more you are a sitting duck for good robots and for good PS.
