Robot Design Strategy, REEFSCAPE Gut Reactions, and Defense is dead? | FRC Strategy Analysis

The 2025 FRC Game has been released, and everyone has been speculating about how to play the game, what is optimal, and what type of game this will end up being! Here, we will sit down and explore some possible ways that you can design strategy for your robot, and figure out what might work, what might not, and everything in between!

Comments for clarification: The RP of 20 coral does require 5 coral scored on every level, so while a L1 coral bot would be able to score extremely quickly, the RP would likely not be something to be focused on with that bot, and it would be more about guaranteeing a deep climb with your design and trying to max out cycles and points

Also, I do end up saying Cargo a decent amount of time as that was the name of the game piece in 2022, I do mean to say Coral whenever that comes up. Sorry for the misspeak!

RoboReplay was created by 2024 New England District Alumni to help FRC teams understand strategies used in game play. Content will include replays and analysis of matches along with resources on strategies for the current FRC game as the season progresses!
