Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Alright everyone divisions are out people have surely dissected them by now so here's the question. What teams in Newton will get overlooked? I'm looking for maybe a great defensive team that will fly under the radar and end up as the number 1 or 2 alliances third pick?
What say you Newton Division? -Justin Good luck to everyone down in Hotlanta won't be making the trip this year but I'm sure it will be a good time. |

I think that team 88 would make a great addition to an eliminations alliance in this division (providing they don't seed in the top 8 that is).

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Third pick, eh?

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Kind of a generalized question considering that every alliance may have a different need or preference. So what may work with 148 may not be what a 121 or a 1625 is looking for. There's alot of variables that go into picking that third team to work with that sometimes raw stats aren't going to bear out alone.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Koko does have a point. You may have to wait and do your scouting at comp. For instance, my team has a relatively strong defensive bot and we did very well in our alliance at the Colorado regional, but our bot, strategy, or even our drivers may not click well with yours. It'd definitely be better to pay attention to the defensive designs in Newton and how they like to play. Perhaps even research which of the Newton bots look like good defensive players and watch the recordings of their matches if you're looking to do some pre-comp scouting.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
I have to agree with Mr. Noonez
Just off the top of my head i find around 34 highly competitive scoring robots in Newton (in no particular order) 469 365 16 1726 1918 1038 135 121 1625 148 234 1507 1155 126 368 768 228 191 340 85 1657 1732 292 33 233 1714 2609 2996 2970 228 340 612 88 980 I would bet most alliances will pick a scoring robot with some defensive abilities, rather than a pure defensive robot. But i guess we'll all see in about a week. Should be a fun championship, it always is.!!! But for the sake of argument if i had to pick the third pick i think will make the difference for some alliance I’d have to go with Team 85 (that is if they don't seed) They are always in the thick of it, they play smart, and are great to work with. |

You also put down 612 twice :)

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
Off topic, but it's interesting how many people are posting while I'm still in school....

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
The more I look at the Newton team list, the more I realize how many amazing teams are in our division. I think it's unlikely that there will be any robots picked purely for their defense... there are too many good teams that can play defense and score a bunch of moonrocks. We're going to have to work really hard to make it into eliminations.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
And 2907 down twice. And 2907 isn't even in Newton. ;) 2970 is.
He also didn't include several others that could be on the fringe of being a elimination-worthy scoring machine: 102 122 620 832 2344 Or his own team: 177 |
Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
heh...one of my kids just woke up, the other is still in bed, they have the day off from school.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
I'd say 612 is a diamond in the rough. They're definitely not a High level scorer by any means, but they sure as hell can play defense, run empty cells and follow (and devise) a strategy. There's something to say about a team that averages about 10 balls a match... But has only lost one Qualifying match so far. I'd pick them as a 3rd Robot... If they were in Curie.

Re: Best 3rd Pick in Newton
We've thought about it, and after watching last year's championship matches again, we think team 148 would be a decent 2nd rounder.
Our plan is to hopefully grab 148 in the 2nd round |
