Any way for you (or your alliance) to grab RC's of wall? You are going to need 2 to have a better shot at winning. Even in San Diego which is relatively weak competition with so many young bot teams. I still see at least three alliances forming that have potential to do above 150...similar to Ventura where 207 was posted. Ventura was more stacked but San Diego has at least three solid alliances that can form based on my scouting. I have a # we need to reach to win it in my head and its above 150 and below 200. We were very fortunate to have alliance partners that cheescaked us...we will have that dual can burgling for San Diego.

36x3 = for your five stack +RC and noodle =108 seems to me you need at least one more topped stack to have a shot at winning.

150 is the baseline for most winning alliances that want a good chance....also north of 200+ should be your potential perfect game ceiling.

In both SD and Ventura there were at least 4 alliances that could can-burgal most two RCs

Its all about the wall RCs in Weeks 5 and 6 teams are gearing up for St Louis.

Let me ask what do you do well?

Overall, team 74 had an average qualification score of 82.03 and an average playoff score of 108.83 in 2015.

Compare to us in playoffs (while we were figuring arm out and it only worked in our two last matches)...

Overall, team 5137 had an average qual score of 66.00* and an average playoff score of 132.60 (already highest going into SD) in 2015
*The reason we were only 66 is we had to totally reconfigure our drive station from two drivers halfway through first day...to one to try to win in faster decision making. Otherwise we would be near you. We hope to average more now that all kinks are worked out. They did not listen to me and wanted two drivers...that was not good for our design..we fixed that. Thankfully.

Now that arms are working 150 is our base in a full Regional with them. We lost entry into Finals where we had a great shot by then by 2 QA points and would have knocked out the #1 alliance made of #1 and #2 bots. All because of dual wall grab and strong alliance partners 696 and 1836..we beat #1 Twice

Your range is 140 High in Quals to 0 low with 82 average...playoffs better 108 avg. That's your expected score range.
Pretty sure you will have better bots to pair with but how are you going to get to above 150 for playoff average I saw you can do 170 but how consistently?

A: Rcs (so look to pair with an RC grabber)


110 QA was my guess with you strategy, i was close..but again I have been eyes on bot scouting since week 1.

I can tell you are mainly a topper from your stats (which is fine)....so finding fast stackers and those that can gain an extra RC or 2 would up all your already good stats...you would be top 7 on my list in San Diego... without RC grab....with RC grab in top 3 just ahead of us basing it on what it did us. If you can't do it..find it. Your are top bot go pair with a grabber.
