Best examples of a match where robots work together against defense.

For us, the moments you don't have the ball, you should be playing "smart" defense on your alliance. There are several of these moments for us, a quick nudge on a blue robot, getting in between the robot and ball. Not only was defense being played on us, but we dished out defense too. Finding partners that are good in each position are key in the game for sure. But one of the matches I enjoy watching is the Quarters 1 in St. Louis. Being the "Truss" robot, I feel like we play the role of "big brother", able to help both our inbounding partners and scoring partners. If the trussing didn't work, foregoing the truss and passing on the ground still works for 40 points...

My team happened to play in that match, but it was a beautiful example of how to play the assists to win.

PNW Champs semi finals or finals.
Auburn District semi finals or Finals

1983 and 1318 worked beautifully together at both auburn and champs to come out with two wins. The duo got lots of practice together at auburn which was for our scouting team to justify picking the ?34? seed as our 1st pick even though they had been plagued with technical problems all weekend and were on nobody else's radar

Having driven against your alliance in Auburn, I would have to agree. i think your alliance, and our alliance both did a great job to combine scoring and defense.

There was quarterfinals 3-1 on curie. There was some defense on both sides,but the most interesting part was the ability for each robot to swap roles on the fly.

Had a lot of fun watching those quarterfinals and the matches that followed involving the #2 alliance on Curie. I think these matches really show what good teamwork can do for you on the field. The drivers and coaches for red were able to go so far as to change offensive strategies cycle to cycle depending on what they saw on field because of the level of communication and teamwork found in the the red driver station.

Windsor Essex Regional - SF 1-2

This set of matches shows how an alliance of underdogs (blue - 4525, 4917, 4519) up against the powerhouse alliance (red - 2056, 1114, 5288) can hold their own, given good strategy and smart drive teams.

While blue was significantly out-matched offensively, all three robots on the blue alliance were able to dynamically switch roles throughout the match when 1114 and 2056 were laying down some big defence.

Blue took 1 match off of red, and the other two matches were both extremely tight matches - one of which was lost due to a 20pt foul.

Michigan Qualification match 110. Red alliance pulls the "900 strategy", as I call it, with 107 shooting the ball from the feeder station, over the truss, to the far HP. The HP then feeds the ball to 1506 in the middle zone, which outtakes to 67 for quick 3 ball assist cycles.

Thought it was interesting, just because in the past I saw 2 assist cycles with that strategy the majority of the time, and a defensive bot.

All the Division Championship and Einstein matches. Really incredible teamwork on everybody's part.
