My ultimate alliance: 1114 , 1126 and 2228.

Hmmm I wonder why the first 2 teams sound sooo familiar :yikes:

that is very humbling as a member of 2228, did u mean 1024 though instead of 1114? otherwise it doesn't sound familiar to me

and great semifinals match at buckeye, truely the best match ive seen this year, even if we did lose!! congrats on the win

I felt bad for you guys when you got ran over by 1024, but honestly it was one of the coolest plays I have seen this year.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

1114, 217, 148

I picked 148 over 1024 basically because the reason to choose 1024 is for their killer hybrid... so why not just pick 148. 1114, and 217 are much better hurdlers, and no need for a third when you have these two controlling the balls. I could put 118, 330, 233, 254, 968, 987, 2056 or any of the other top hurdlers there instead of 217. But so far 217 has put up the second best hurdling numbers (haven't seen any 4th week stats yet).

Also this alliance may be capable of breaking the 200 point barrier.

I picked the same three teams as you- I agree on the "in case someone breaks" logic. Besides, to be a good hurdler, you have to be quick. These robots can all do quick laps.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

I doubt an alliance without 3 hurdlers will make it very far on Einstein.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

I think three hurdlers would do good. Especially if one of the hurdlers was fast and could do laps. But they would also have to be an effecient hurdler if for some reason one of their alliance members was having an off match.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

Having watched both 39 and 330 dominate different regionals, I would put them on a similar level...and give the hurdling edge to 39, ball pickup is probably a tie, ball removal/placing would go to 330.

Sadly our shooter just doesn't have enough distance.

Just to name a few.
254, 968, 25, 233, 337, 368 (all of whom are 2008 gold winners after week 3). If teams like 330, 103, 987 and others ever decided to come in '09 with the same group as '08, that would be scary.
Other regional finalists/winners from '07 and '08: 1138, 597, 2024, and 359 attending. There are no slouches for all of the veteran teams participating.:D

Glenn,

How many regionals do the Hawaiian kids go to? :ahh:

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

My ultimate alliance

1114-The best all-around robot, they can score like no ones business and they have the smoothest, smartest, and strongest drive team in FIRST.

217-Three reasons, they are the best hurdlers, they have the best pickup system, and I just love watching Karthik and Paul Copioli do things together.

The most divisive issue is the third partner, three hurdlers or a good lap runner, I believe the hurdlers are more important, because they can play any game so with for my third member

1024-A team with talent to burn. A team that has really been smoking this year in terms of performance. A team that has been really hot lately. A team that has been the recipent of more bad puns related to fire than anyone else in the history of the world, they are an amazing team. They are super fast and have a hybrid that is amazing. They could be a straight lap runner and would still be able to dominate. They can hurdle when needed and can still play defense or do what ever needed to be done to win.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

Maybe we should talk about possible einstein matchups.
217, 1114, and 1024 vs 987, 330, 1717 vs 968, 254, 368 vs 11, 25, 103 vs 233, 1902, 179 vs 111, 71, 148 vs 1731, 121, 836 just to name a few and mix and match them where necessary. :P
