Re: How Will Logomotion Play Out and Develop?

My Predictions:

- How much will the average scores increase over the course of the season?
Average scores will increase about 30-50% between week 1 and champs

- How effective will defense be?
Very effective. Many offensive teams will over estimate their bots scoring abilities and will be limites in scoring when good defense is played.

- Will alliances use feeder bots & hangers, or will it be every team for itself?
This will depend on the alliances robot capabilities and will change from match to match

- Will tubes be fed through the slot or thrown?
Thrown ... although I believe this will play into a defensive starvation strategy.

- What will dominate - Grippers or Roller Claws? Rotating arms or Elevators?
Minibots


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


- Will the minibots define the winners, or will their influence decrease as more teams get them working?
Minibots will domonate ... although scoring may catch up by championships (unless defens proves as good as I believe it will be)

- How will minibots develop? Will they all be similar by Championship?
Teams will gravitate towards 4-5 effective designs.

- How would you like to see the game played?
Fairly ... with no major rule changes after week 1
