Ok, I need you to tell me how your team beat the turtling strat. P.S. Turtling is when you grab two towers and hid in a corner. It is very hard to beat and that is why I want to know. P.S.S I would love if you could help!

If they have the a mogo in their lift clamp and it’s hovering over the platform then tip the platform a couple times and it should get knocked out of the clamp. Or get your lift/robot under their lift/mogo and lift your lift up and knock the mogo out of their clamp. (Assuming you have a lift)

We use this strat sometimes, and you have to double park with a goal, or have a good ring mech for high branches.

I mean, it’s pretty straightforward. [image] If an alliance is completely ignoring one aspect of the game… you should probably focus on beating them in that aspect of the game.

Standard turtle teams don’t have many options and they have to move quickly or they lose their opportunity to grab goals. Seven goals, four robots, and they need to grab three. Much like a football team with only one play - eventually teams will figure out how to block that play. Watch tournaments…

To elaborate further, the turtle strategy basically is the opposing alliance telling you “We’re confident that you can’t score enough rings to make up this difference.” So, prove them wrong. Let’s take a look at my handy-dandy scoring calculator. Assume the Autonomous Bonus is a tie in all these si…

That is one of the best replys I have see ever! Thanks and I think, correction, I know that you are correct.

[image] DRow: If I lost a match to two robots that were sitting idle in a corner for 75% of the match, I’d probably re-evaluate my own robot / strategy. [image]

[image] DRow: But personally, If I lost a match to two robots that were sitting idle in a corner for 75% of the match, I’d probably re-evaluate my own robot / strategy. It is easier to blame others for our own failures; one would hope future engineers would break free of this mindset.

[image] DRow: you’re likely going to need to utilize the high branch @DRow Is there any data that shows teams scoring the high branch? I looked at the API and it doesn’t show the makeup of each match score. Do you have access to more granular scoring information?

Not to say that it doesn’t exist, but I don’t have access to anything of that nature.

Be the turtle. I mean win the autonomous…consistently. Realistically getting goals is 95% auton. 5% picking them up when your opponent makes a mistake. For beating turtling like everyone else said rings are the only way to gain points if you don’t have the majority of goals.

Hey, how do you beat turtling
