No 3 Ball autonomous but on Einstein there will be >4 boulders scored in each tower (high goal).

This robot will remain in the courtyard in-taking balls from low goal shooters, retrieving balls from it's opponents secret passage and scoring high goals, at the end of the match this robot hangs.

The BDE defenses will be weakened in auton This alliance will achieve a breach of defenses for the BCDE defenses within 30 seconds of the match.

The second robot which specialized on breaching will fall back and play effective defense until endgame, upon endgame this robot hangs.

The third robot spends the match damaging the category A defense and passes boulders to the first robot. This third robot is a rookie who can only score low goals but has an effective drive-train. This robot has a cheesecaked hang mechanism and wins highest rookie seed on Curie.

Match score: 245

This is the hardest read anyone has posted on this thread so far. I'm impressed.

At some point during the season, there will be a penalty issued for violating G45.

I predict that winning alliances will have to contain robots which able to shoot above defenders / be fast enough to shot while avoiding defenders.

I'm not sure if I'd rather maintain a regional win streak or win the last solo Champs.

Huh. You can continue to win the $1,000 weekly lottery, or the $5B jackpot.

They are taking it out of play until they get a solution.

Make that 3. but it won't break anymore, it's taken out of the choices.

Last year there was a team on Carson that got a yellow card for using the Chute Door to control a tote introduced to the field. There will always be people that don't read the rules.

Fixed by adding a 1/8" steel plate across the whole bottom of the polycarb. After looking at the field drawings, I'm surprised that wasn't there from the beginning due to the countersunk holes for the bolts mounting the panels to the pivot bracket. They were reintroduced to the field around match 28ish (?) and didn't seem to have any issues from there.

1. Highest scoring match this year will be over 250, it will be in the QUALIFIERS of a division

2. In elims at a district event, the 1st seed will suffer a double or triple Tortuga, allowing the 8th seed to beat them out, and go on to be finalists at that event.

3. At champs, we will see almost no scaling (in both quals and elims) on one of the fields.

4. On Einstein, there will be an alliance that has no US teams.

I guess we'll have to find out :)
The way I see it happening in elims is if its 3 god-tier teams that just dominate the match.
