Well, as it always tends to be, a team with a very well made, robust robot will be a strong contender in the game.

I think with chance of there being more types of robots this year than last, the competition will probably be more interesting overall.

Even with a bad pairing of robot types, all is not lost. If you are a stacker and you can't get to your zone, there are still things for you to do. A robot that can -move- can push bins out of the opponents scoring zones.

What I'm foreseeing is that if you have an alliance with two robots that do exactly what they were meant to do and can do it very well without any bugs and with good drivers, that will be an ideal alliance.
