Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

I'm officially loving this game!
Here are my predictions.

Driving and Aiming: I think we are going to see a lot of fast west coast drives trains. There isn't very much emphasis on being able to strafe this year (as compared to games like Logomotion). I also think we are going to see a lot of rotating turrets.

Scoring Frisbees: It's all about accuracy. The frisbees are going to be difficult to pick up off the ground, and I don't think there will be many just rolling around. Basically, if you get possession of a frisbee, you had better score it in A goal.

The End Game: Climbing is a must. Most, if not all, of the frisbees will be scored by this point in the game, and Climbing will be a very effective way of getting ten or twenty points. That being said, I don't think we are going to see very many teams scoring thirty points by climbing.
As for the colored disks, I think a few teams will score them as they are climbing the ladder (just lob them in, don't worry about spin). I also expect a few Human Players to be a part of a local Ultimate Frisbee Team, and score as much as some robots on their own.

All in all, I think this is going to be a very high scoring, high speed game.

Good Luck!
