Is that crazy?

Are you saying Archimedes has too many long bots? Keep in mind that 1114 and 2056 can triple balance while hanging off the edge, and 2826 now has similar capability. I see something like 67 + 2056 winning Archimedes. And if anybody wants to beat an alliance like that on Einstein, they better be prepared to score 70+ and then triple balance.
I don't know which robots have developed new triple balancing capabilities, but I think Archimedes looks like it has the best bet to create one or two really high scoring, triple balancing alliances. I would LOVE to watch all four of the teams I mentioned face off in the division finals. And yes, there are plenty of other good teams apart from them, as has been duly pointed out earlier.
