Re: 2015- Minimum Competitive Concept

The 28 point boundary. That's the minimum competitive barrier, at the championship level at least.

What do I mean by that?

A robot, for example 148 since that's the one everyone is ooing and ahhing over right now (and for good reason) can pull off a stack and can auto alone. That means in auto your third robot needs to do one thing, drive. There are your first 4 points of the 28.

Then in teleop, one robot will take the landfill by storm, and one will take a feeder station. The primary feeder will do 3 stacks with cans and litter. The landfill robot occupies the landfill and takes the cans from the center in auto, then just stacks the landfill totes.

That leaves your third robot, a feeder station robot, to complete 2 full stacks, sans cans, from the non taken feeder station in order to maximize the score for the alliance. That's the other 24 points.

Now, for a winning alliance at champs, this robot may also spend the last minute working on the unsused landfill side depending on the landfill robot.

*Sidenote this all goes out the door the second a powerhouse pulls out a double feeder station split robot. At which point 2 landfills or a landfill and step specialist become the minimum, but I think the 28 point robot is more likely to be the lowest common denominator robot
