Re: Rookie Stratagy

I think we are still all on our honeymoon phase here on CD. Remember last year when we said all the cans would be used in regional quals? And that the top 20 teams at every regional would be able to put up multiple 6 stacks every match?

What some people are describing here (a robot that can go over any obstacles and can score low goal) is not a MCC, its a top 5 seeded robot. A robot that can do those things is guaranteed at least 1 RP per match, 2 RPs with partners who can challenge, and all 4 RPs if any other robots on the alliance can score.

By themselves they would get:
15 Auto Points
45 Teleop Defense Points and 1 RP
14 Low Goal Points
5 Challenge Points

In a game where point values are quite low, this is incredible performance. If a robot can do all that by themselves, they are going to be a top seed unquestionably at a regional. Switch low goal with high and add a climber and you have an Einstein Finalist.
