Good strategy?

[tkwetzel]

I came up with what I think is a very good option for strategy and game play, however the rest of my team decided it was not the best idea. It involves making a net or basket about 8 feet wide that you can unfold and position under the ball dump in the autonomous mode. If you had a reliable partner, they could knock off the 10 point ball, hopefully not too soon, and you would catch most of the balls if not all of the balls. You could then have a way for them to be put back out in the corner near your ball corral, so they would not all be spread across the field and you would be able to easily push them into the corral as fast as your team could remove them probably. If you could consistently do that you would most likely be chosen in the finals. You may not automatically go to finals, because you may have one or more partners who cannot make it to the 10 point ball. However, a team who could get to the ball easily and is in the position to pick alliance partners would love to be able to control the balls. During STUbots (students act out game) we found that to be one of the best moves. However, our team decided that we don't want to have to rely on the other robot to get to that ball.
