In general, robots that could pick up and transport a large number of either ball but especially the larger red five-point balls put up higher scores than robots that only scored a few balls at a time. Being able to effectively intake and score multiple red balls was important to getting a high score.

A number of teams including [[frc151|151]] and [[frc45|45]] built detachable ball "cages" that began the match on the robot's drive base, would be filled up during the match, and then at some point be deployed over the cross pipe and into the goal, offering more protection and potentially easier scoring. Some robots could fit under the goal and potentially try to descore opponent's balls or hold their own balls more securely in the goal. Robots would often sit and guard their goals after scoring. [[frc157|Team 157]] built a deployable goal blocker that would close off the bottom of an opponent's goal and prevent them from scoring small balls unless it was dislodged.
