Re: Robot Classifications

A few that I was toying with.

Offense - Pretty self explanatory (no sub-group ideas yet)

Defense (see below for sub-groups I came up with)
-Guards: bots who do the best they can to limit movement between sections
-Goalies: Guard goals

Utility
-Hangers: Bots who are both very good climbers, but also easy to climb on.
-Conveyors: middle area bots used to syphon game pieces along.

I think these will become important. Ball control is always extremely useful in a game like this, if a Midfielder can't hit the goal consistently than their main objective should become "move as many balls to the opponent's side of the field as possible." A very simple way to do this would be herding (possibly kicking without an upwards angle) through the tunnels. A constant flow of balls into the center of the field would make the Forward's job much simpler.
