Re: Power Alliance At Champs: 2014

There are certainly plenty of Washington robots that could fill the roles of the PNW winning alliance, but the PNW alliance of 1318/1983/2907 were the kings of defense. It's hard to argue with strong communication and teamwork. Speaking of defense, 1595 is my last pick. I would be willing to bet money that they will be in eliminations at champs as a 3rd or 4th bot. Play their cards right and they could ride the tail end of alliance selections to Einstein...

Oregon is sending 5 strong teams:

Captain - Team 4488: ShockWave - With a reliable 2-ball hot auto, a clean shot and defense evasion tactics, they have the potential to seed high on a division.

FIRST Pick - Team 955: CV Robotics - Consistent, fast. I pick them for truss and mid-field play. They could finish for ShockWave too if need be.

Second Pick - Team 4125: Confidential - They are good at finishing and assisting, but 955 has a higher arc truss shot, so I put 4125 as the inbounder and back field player.

Third Pick - Team 1540: Flaming Chickens - The Chickens definitely have improved a lot from a rocky start at districts. They even got a 2-ball auto working at District Champs. With a little more work and practice, these guys are my final pick to round out this alliance.

Honorable Mention - Team 997: Spartan Robotics - They captained a strong alliance at District Champs. They can play the game well and are able to fill most roles. However they have a difficult time hanging onto the ball in transit, because of this, they are susceptible to high level defense.
