It may be a little early to accurately be able to predict this with any accuracy, but I was wondering what the general consensus of the top robots at a regional will be. What will the alliance captains look like/be capable of. What will 1st and 2nd round picks be capable of (obviously dependent upon what the alliance captain can do)? What will the robots be able to do? Will they specialize in assisting, shooting, catching etc.?
In my opinion the top 8 robots will mostly be composed of the robots that are the most proficient at putting the ball in the 10pt goal. However, I think a few of the top assisters will sneak in if they are able to overcome weaker alliance members in quals (assist points are the top tiebreaker after all) .
The top picks will most likely be a robots that are the fastest at transitioning the ball to the next robot. The top pick for an alliance captain that isn't a great shooter will likely be the best shooter available. Depending on what strategy the top teams want to go with the second pick will be the best remaining assister or best defensive robot that can still pass.
Just my ideas but I want to hear everybody else's opinion
