Re: How Will Logomotion Play Out and Develop?

- How much will the average scores increase over the course of the season?
Double week one qual average to get championships qual average

- How effective will defense be?
Not very.

- Will alliances use feeder bots & hangers, or will it be every team for itself?
"If a team can't score on the top, i'm telling them to be a feeder. Don't score tubes on the low peg when I can put it up top and triple it's value."
Totally agree with this!


- Will tubes be fed through the slot or thrown?
BOTH!

- What will dominate - Grippers or Roller Claws? Rotating arms or Elevators?
Elevators and roller claws.

- Will floor loading be as important as many think?
YES, it always is!

- Will the mini-bots define the winners, or will their influence decrease as
Week one yes. BUT there influence will definitely drop off. At some point it becomes about consistency over speed.

- How will mini-bots develop? Will they all be similar by Championship?
Minibots are easy to copy which is one more reason why it is the consistency that will win out. YOU can have a 1/2 second mini bot but if it only works 1/2 of the time how useful is it?

- How would you like to see the game played?
winning alliances will have at least 2 robots that score autonomously. 1 fast minibot and 1 consistent minibot. As well as a team with a well trained drive team.

WHY IS AUTONOMOUS NOT DISCUSSED HERE!!!!
Did I miss an update where they decided to not include it? lol, just kiding.
But seriously I think it is a highly underrated part of this years game.
