No doubt that stacking robots will win the game.

Everyone thought goal robots would win last year. Who won the national championship? 173. A ball robot, using balls, against an alliance of excellent goal-only robots.


A better strategy always defeats a better bot.

It pains me to point out the obvious but yes Strategy will always defeat the better bot. However, this also applies for the stacker bots. Unless you are a robot that can move multiple boxs over the bar all at the same time then you are making a major assumption that there is going to be bins on your side of the playing field. Now you may say that well there is just going to have to be no one can get all of those boxs in the first four seconds into their scoring zone!!! As for last year it wasn't all about ball grabbers. Finals were determined by a ball grabber and a strong goal grabber. When Team Hammond broke down and RAGE and Team 66? won, the strategy plainly was Rage would pick up balls while Team 66 made sure RAGE was free to do what it wanted to do. This game is all about strategy. This year its about stackers vs. kings of the hill only the best will survive. Oh one more thing what happens if there are HYBRIDS?
Muahahahaahahahahahahhaha
