Re: Sacrificing a State Championship for the Cause???

469 is beatable with the right combination of alliance members along with a sound strategy. 217 successfully defended 469, however it was a near 1 on 1 situation. Unfortunately, 217 being the prolific scorer they were, was sacrificed to defend 469. 67 and 217 would have had a field day in zones 1 and 2 had they relied on a strong defensive bot to neutralize 469.

Team 66 had effectively neutralized 469 in their match (match 77) in zone 2, keeping them from doing much of anything.

I think to win this years game, you will need two prolific scorers and one strong defensive bot, regardless of who is on the other team.

Rabbot: I would have to politely disagree about putting a strong defensive bot in the home zone. That robot needs to be able to clear the balls out of the home zone up to the midfield, otherwise the robot on the other team playing offense will just score the ones you block while you're still defending 469. That robot needs to be agile enough to block the balls as 217 did while also kicking as many as possible out of the zone, and hopefully permanently out of the loop.

I agree with you BUT, I would think that the best strategy would be to defend 469 in the midfield to prevent them from entering their tower loop as well as fielding any balls. As long as 469 is busy with the defending bot, they will be like any other robot on the field. If 469 does happen to enter the towel loop, then you will need to cross the bump and implement the 217 strategy.
My main point was that you can't sacrifice a prolific scorer as 217 to defend 469. In the elimination rounds, it will be doubtful that an alliance will have 3 prolific scorers. So during the selections the role of a strong defensive bot increases.
Running and gunning with teams will cause some pretty exciting matches. But ultimately, defense wins championships. A great team will consist of robots that will play doing what they do best, and IMHO that's two prolific scorers and a robust defense bot.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about after they deployed. If we are talking about them not getting into position is the first place, I obviously agree that a great pusher would have the best chance of delaying their deployment.
