4564 is a rookie from Maine, and they are a good cycler and have a 10 point hang.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

And is 2512 supposed to be an alliance captain? Even though I love ther robots full court shooting and pickup abilities and have them making it to einstein, I have them in as a second selection not a top 8 team

Love the Newton picks :D but there is no way that 3 FCS with 1 (610) being also a cycler all with only 10 point hangs would beat 118, 1114, and 125 unless there was robot malfunctions.

2512, 2169 and 610 are awesome robots but that combo of robots for an alliance doesn't make any sense.

I like how you have C beating A. I don't think any three robots in the world could beat 987/254/469 except maybe 2056/118/1114 (not in the same divisions).

My suspicion is that both the Curie and Galileo pairs will be looking for a floor pickup bot with a wing-to-wing 5 disc. IMO, a reliable wing-to-wing 5 is probably one of the single most desirable features to the top alliances at CMP. 469's got it, 1477 was working on it. Anyone else have one? Lots of teams are doing the center-forward 7 disc. Many of those will be top seeds, and pulling the 15 disc perfect auto requires that plus a wing-to-wing 5, or an as yet unseen 9 disc auto, with a 1241-esque pickup, albeit needing more ground clearance than 1241 has.

We've got a 5-disc auton working on our practice bot... whether that translates into real success at champs is the question :rolleyes:

I agree with this so much. Those robots are positively lethal, making up 3 of my personal top 5. I'd only see them lose against 2056/1114 together, but then I don't think anyone could trump those two together.

According to my April Absurdity bracket, that's true!

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

just saying if you are going to have 4564 be selected, might as well have us selected as well ;p (adding lexan shield/netting to stop FCS) have good passive defense, not a linebacker though, and we are able to work with any strategy not just defense as we are working on our 4th cycle per match, have 10 point climb, 18 auton (can set up anywhere) so we dont have the best bot, but we can work with any situation, and we dont use much battery and use no pnuematics so not worried about items breaking on the robot, hasnt so far and I doubt we will see it happen. Just saying though, Virginia is bringing a storm. #1541 #1262 and our North Carolina friends #435 (undefeated at NC regional). Hope to see us on your April Absurdity brackets :)

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

Team 4564 keeps it simple as well, they made some blockers for the robot for championships, no pneumatic systems and they increased their shooting speed while keeping the same accuracy from what people saw at pine tree, along with some sensors to help the drivers know when to shoot. Its gonna be interesting to see how they do.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

Ill agree, you have perked my interest, I think we play them in our 6th match (if it is we are allied with 1541 :) gonna be fun)

1918 can do a 5 disc auto and put up 50 pyramid points. I don't see why with a little additional coding, they couldn't add two more discs to their auton. Their floor pickup is very similar to both 70 and 2474, two known 7disc autons.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

They can and probably will! The NC Gears are great team and they will bring their "A:" Game to Champs. 2474 Excel and 2000 Team Rock are also teams to watch from West Michigan. I know these teams well from being from the "west side".

Everybody seems to know about the east side but look out for West Michigan in 2013!!!!;)

4814 almost captained an alliance! We had to fight and claw our way past them in the Curie final.
