[Alex Cormier]

- How much will the average scores increase over the course of the season?
I say close to double, starting at 40.

- How effective will defense be?
Not really early on, will be stronger towards champs.

- Will alliances use feeder bots & hangers, or will it be every team for itself?
Each regional will probably see the same, a change from quals to elims. Quals will be some what self, elims will be more like one team.

- Will tubes be fed through the slot or thrown?
Early weeks, maybe see more thrown, later weeks feed/kept in safe zone.

- What will dominate - Grippers or Roller Claws? Rotating arms or Elevators?
Split decision, I helped build an elevator with a roller claw.

- Will floor loading be as important as many think?
Yes. x3

- Will the minibots define the winners, or will their influence decrease as more teams get them working?
Early weeks yes, later weeks it should even out.

- How will minibots develop? Will they all be similar by Championship?
I don't think the same way as others on this one. I dn't think we will see a drastic copy cat come champs. The basis is, team will be keeping those as little secret. Also they are so complicated to gain the .5sec edge.

- How would you like to see the game played?
I would love to see one main scorer and two feeders. Gather all tubes, last 30 seconds the feeders get ready to deploy mini and the main scorer makes all logos.

My thoughts without seeing much week 0 footage and much testing of our own robot. We will be playing week 1 at FLR.
