I wondered how long it would take for someone to make this post. As sit here this morning watching the Buckeye and VCU webcasts and a documentary about the Bismark on the Learning Channle eating my breakfast of toast. I am pondering 3 questions 1) Will stacking ever happen in an quantity? 2) What will the bots look like by Nats? 3) Which is better Toast with Butter or Jelly?
1) I've seen a few bots pick up crates and they either don't do anything with them or the crate falls out. Other internal stackers rely on the boxes being upright and they wonder around looking for them, when the match ends they normally haven't let go of them. Maybe in finals we'll see some well thought out strategy including stackers. Something tells me this won't happen though and stacking will go the way of the Dodo.
2) Since stacking seems a lost cause will teams continue to run with there current bots. There is plenty of tipping especailly of the taller stackers. I think a large portion of these teams may slice off there superstructure and go for a pure pushbot. Others may add wing to extend there width. I think by nats the vast majority of bots will be highly modded.
3) I think I prefer the buttered toast.
I'll clause all this by stateing its still early but we've seen the basic cross section of bots. Unless your stacking in a completely different way I don't think you'll do as well as everyone else. However I haven't seen any rampdoms this weekend. If you consider the fact they'd stop the movement of bots(5 on average) over the ramp. Maybe this will slow the match enough to allow stacking. Good Luck and Gods Speed.
