Re: What Team do you fear?
 

fear is not in my vocabulary.

I welcome all competition with utter most of gracious professionalism.

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

I don't think I fear any team's robot.

But teams 118 and 476 seem to be bringing very good robots to Lone Star and are going to provide lots of great competition and/or are going to be a great alliance partner. Especially 118 seeing that their robot can stop Godzilla and all.

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

I totally agree! I also think if you have no confidence in your own bot to do well, then when you face the people you "fear" you will have almost no chance of winning. But if I have to say who I think will be good... :rolleyes: ...I would say the obvious...111, 461, and 108 etc. I do have some rookie picks...1504 and 1646...I think both will win rookie all-star awards.

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

i don't fear this team so much as they always seem to have something ready for me and whatever team I'm on.....Metal-In-Motion (343) by nationals they always seem to have the game down pat....even at the regionals they always seem to have something special up their sleeve for me. I wouldn't have it any other way cause one of these times I'll get em back :) 1083 has some crazy strategy guy there so they are always a pain and if they were still around 267 always made me a little paranoid....

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

We never worry about robots!

We watch out for alliances and strategies. I have seen the smallest and weakest of machines take out the Giants of FIRST, with just the right strategies and partners.

Its all in your mind! Any team can be dangerous under the right circumstances.

Respect them ALL or Perish!!!! :D

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

Stephen..I know your roots. 312-Heatwave has always dished out its share. We have played with them and against them and believe me, you want to play with them. Same goes for 16,21,79,108,180...OMG we're in trouble... :ahh:

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

I fear all robots that are top heavy and may fall over on me when I am announcing. Almost got hit 4 or 5 times last year and I think it might be worse this year as teams will be trying to get off field objects.

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

Not afraid of anybody really. I'm sure Tic-Tac/Rhino/Land-Shark/Tank will be able to handle what ever comes at it. Although I was impressed with 230 at the scrimmage.

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

Travis just released the picture of their robot, so I must say..

968

That is probably the NICEST looking robot I have ever seen, and based on its design and subsytems, looks like it could be the best robot in FIRST history.

Thats just my opinion though... ;)

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

i really don't think we fear teams we just like to have a challenge...
some teams yes are stronger but always you never know what's gonna happen, the luck of the draw just gets it...cause especially those last few seconds change the score many times...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

To those who said 180..you can fear b/c the El Chupacabra is HERE!!! :D

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

The only team I'm fearing this year is team 330. They were the first team we lost to in Atlanta last year. It was awesome.

I'll tell you one other thing: I don't fear the Cheesy Poofs!!!!! *ferocious growl*

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

what is with 25 being so feared i just see the fear of them ramming someone. or playing D as Corey puts it. but they are not that scary the teams i am worried about have to be 237, national champs 71, and 469. theses teams did some crazy stuff last year can't wait to see what they do this year.

pheer us

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

I fear fear it self!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Re: What Team do you fear?
 

I agree completely with this statement. Many robots (as far as I've noticed on CD) can extend to 12' high or even higher. Most will attempt to carry a tetra at that height as well. With many of the goals positioned on the sides of the field, and robot contact expected because defense and goal protection is permitted, many robots can become falling tree trunks instantly. I fear the safety of the human players and the referees and camera people. 6 tall robots in a crowded field will not be a pretty sight when aggressive matches occur.

As for specific robots, there is nothing to fear. It's more interesting to learn about how their robot operates and the systems it uses. FIRST is a learning experience.
