Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

They are deceptively a smart team. There's a reason why they had led the number 8 alliance at Purdue to the finals and the number 5 alliance at Indianapolis to a win. 447 would have gotten our number 8 alliance into semi-finals at INDCP if we weren't disabled at the station with one more stack to go (and 234-1024-292 knocked more stacks down).

They basically mine the landfill, steal one of the bins, and build their stack. It's not much, but you have 1720 doing the same thing (albeit in a cleaner manner). At this point late in the season with the can stealers, they are somewhat rendered unable to build a stack, but so is 1720 if they can't speed up there can stealer.

447 was a good landfill bot but they didn't show to be nearly as good as 1741, 1720, or 71. They were more of a good week 1 robot. They just didnt improve as much as the other bots did.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

If I remember right, 1501 was the leader of those alliances at those events. Don't get me wrong, 447 was a good robot. They complimented 1501 very well but I don't think they were the leader as far as the bot capabilities went.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

In CT I think that there are a couple teams up that could work.
#1 2168, 2067, 228

2168 can steal cans from middle and make stakes from landfill or use there ramp and go from human, i have seen them make two perfect stakes from landfill consistently and when they use there ramp i think they could make three perfect stakes if nothing goes wrong.

2067 can steal can from middle, as well as play with other alliances minds in auto, they make stakes from landfill consistently and they have they best human player there is for throwing noodles

228 can not steal cans, but they can consistently make three perfect stakes from human player and get on naked stake done as well. They also are able to stake faster than 195


my other alliance would be
#2 195 2067 228

195 can steal from middle and make three perfect stakes with 20 seconds to spare, they can right the cans with there ramp,

2067 can steal can from middle, as well as play with other alliances minds in auto, they make stakes from landfill consistently and they have they best human player there is for throwing noodles

228 can not steal cans, but they can consistently make three perfect stakes from human player and get on naked stake done as well. They also are able to stake faster than 195

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Is there proof of this somewhere?

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

At BattleCry i had three people time 228 and 195 and 228 was faster by 2 to 3 seconds.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

At Battlecry, IIRC, 228 only placed 3 capped 6 stacks 2 times.

195 Has been consistently been placing 3 6 stacks since week 5.

228: First tote fed: 130s Stack Placed:88s Stack Time: 42s

195: First tote fed: 112s Stack Placed: 86s Stack Time: 26s

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Seems like 195 is the faster staker.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Yes they may be the faster staker once they start to stake, but 228 can stake faster from once they get the can inside to when they place the stake down

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

From what I'm understanding of this conversation, when the vampires attack, I need to go to Connecticut.
Got it. :rolleyes:

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Yes, but not if you need something spelled correctly... Or, apparently, to determine which of something is faster. They seem to have a funky definition there which doesn't take reality into account.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Even if you feel that 228 could complete a stack faster than 195 under perfect conditions, you need to look at the facts.
195 consistently makes 3 six stacks in a typical match, capped and noodled.
228 does not. Your claim of 3 capped stacks + 1 uncapped just isn't true (if I understand your English correctly).

228 is a very good team, and we enjoyed playing with you at CT champs. But you can't really deny the reality here.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Yo mama.

An mi speling is fyn. ;)

And we can skip the trash talk. 195 and 228 have an opportunity to slug it out in Wolcott tomorrow, while the TorMentors knock all their stacks over.

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

With 195's practice robot!

Re: State Power Alliances 2015
 

Nope. It's Talon XVI's evil twin. It's already in Wolcott.

Waiting.
