Re: Robowranglers 2015: Batman & Robin

Their strategy is brilliant. Robin is always stacking totes from the HP. While that's happening, Batman is either picking up a can to put on top of Robin's stack or moving a full stack with a can to a scoring platform. By the time either of Batman's objectives are complete, Robin is surely already done with a 6 stack which allows this dynamic duo's productivity to skyrocket. The autonomous with catwoman(the winch) is also a brilliant tactic, as it puts the cans in an accessible position for Batman to grab them quickly and stack them ontop of Robin's 6 stack.

It's difficult to say how many stacks they can effectively do in a 2:15 period on their own, but I'd say that 148 will be better than most combinations of 2 robots and in some cases, even an entire alliance.

The thing that amazes me the most is how simple the designs of each of their three robots are and how potentially "game-breaking" this really is.

There is no doubt in my mind that Team 148 will be going far.
