Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

I think there will be a field plenty deep enough to find wide bots that can be very beneficial during at least the second round. Remember that playing defense (think 16) is going to be just as important as scoring, and finding a great defensive team relies much more on having a good drive team and inter-team chemistry than a first-round scorer, where the robot is critical.

So I think alliances will be able to satisfy their needs with a wide bot, so I don't think there is much to gain taking a long bot with the second or third pick. You would generally take a scorer in the first round, and that's the only role I see a long bot filling. IRI will be made in the last two rounds--there are more than enough teams to create eight incredible pairs up top.

Here's my best shot at who's long/ wide...
Long- 25, 27, 48, 111, 125, 192 217, 233, 254, 269, 292, 330, 340, 359, 379, 447, 461, 548, 573, 772, 744 781, 971, 1114, 1538, 1676, 1902, 2054, 2056, 2337, 2614 2826, 3310 3138, 3193, 3947
Wide- 33, 45, 51, 67, 68, 118, 148, 234, 245, 269, 292 341, 399, 829, 907, 1023, 1024, 1592, 1714, 1718, 1730, 1732, 2168, 2194, 2481, 2590, 2834, 2949, 3098, 3322, 3357, 3940 4334
Swerve- 16, 71, 973, 1640
Square- 469, 868
Mecanum- 503, 1741

counts: Long 36
Wide:33
Swerve: 4
Square: 2
Mecanum:2
I don't know (need some help): 0

Hopefully I got everyone on the list somewhere!

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

Long - 379, 772, 781, 3138, 3193, 1592, 2614
Wide - 1714, 1730, 907
Swerve - 192 I think

971 is not a swerve. They're a longbot.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

Long: 772, 781

Wide: 907, 1730, 3940

EDIT: Seems Nick beat me to it.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

Long: 1676, 1902
Wide: 2590
Swerve: 1640
Square: 868

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

To add to the lists:

Long - 447, 624, 744, 1741
Wide - 269, 292, 2481, 2949, 3940

Also, 192 is a long bot, not a swerve. I checked a picture of them, they have an 8 wheel drive.

Now, the only teams left unknown are 461, 829, and 3947.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

461 is long.
829 is wide.
3947 is long.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

That was fast. Thanks CD. Now to start transferring to exel. Sigh.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

Does nobody care about us because we're long? :(

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

2168 is long.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

Very sorry I missed your team, I edited my first post and think i have everyone. Also I tend to like long bots as 548 is one!

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

No problem. :D

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

71 is swerve, and 1741 has octo-drive, so I guess you could place them under mecanum.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

1592 is Wide.

Re: 2012 IRI Predictions
 

We're "virtually wide" as long as we are on the outside; meaning that we have a mean overhang.
