unique strategies that worked....... or didn't

[who716]

Now that the 2014 robotics season has come to an end. Many people like me, may be looking back at match videos reminiscing at the good times we had.
Our team has played in a whopping 65 matches, therefore we have been apart of nearly 65 different strategies (no one strategy is the same.)Knowing that there have been 10665 total matches played im sure there have been ALOT of strategies deployed.

at our most recent offseason event, (battle cry) we were the 19th alliance (716,181,2468) going against the number 2 Alliance, of (125,195,1474) if you are familiar with the number two alliance robots' then you know that they are a regional winning alliance for sure.
During our discussion of strategy our alliance partner came up with doing a one assist cycle and stopping them on defense with the other two robots.
I was skeptical at first, as the 2 alliance is capable of putting up big point quickly, but we were down one and had to try something so I said "lets do it"
To my surprise it worked, 181 would in-bound/truss/ score in the top all by itself. while 2648 and 716 would play the defense roll. At the end of the match we won 95-90 with the foul points subtracted (there was a total of three technical foul 1 on our alliance two on opponents alliance)
we came back with the same approach in quarter final 3-3 and took that match by 20 points with a Tec foul against us. They were brutal matches to say the least but it surprised me to see this strategy worked.


What other UNIQUE strategies have you used??
