I definitely agree 21 pts is possible in 30 seconds (1717 proved it). However, I see triples at IRI, where most teams will probably have some form of balance assist, taking closer to the 15-20 sec. range. And I can't see anyone scoring 20 pts in 15 seconds.
I think at least 2 alliances won't triple, but i believe the winner will. All alliances will have one long, and half will have 2 longs somewhere on the alliance.
Fourth picks will be interesting. I think some alliances will need a wide here to make a triple posible, while others will pick up great robots neglected due to a need for wide bots. That brings up another question. Is the field too deep to pick up a great long bot second and third round, sacrifice the triple, and hope its enough? Or are you not gaining enough over choosing from the crop of already picked-over wide bots?
