You're from that neck of the woods I guess, but based on the first low bar poll you might be wrong. (
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/po...ts&pollid=2577) You can look at the people that answered one way or another by following that link. (3 different 254 contributors voted saying they
were not going under the low bar). But you're right down the road from them... Hmmmm.
That said, I think that people have underestimated the value of an unblock-able and accurate shooter from the outer works. Obviously the shooter has to be accurate, but assuming your source boulders is the neutral zone or your secret passage, you can negate almost half the area (the entire enemy courtyard) where effective interference defense can be played. I think if most boulder runners shoot anywhere besides the outerworks safe zone or are blockable while inside that safe zone by a 54" nearby, defense will be a game changer in the elims. Even just a drivetain moving around in the enemy courtyard between the batter and the next boulder would have slowed down almost every robot I've seen video of from this weekend.
So 254 is probably (?) a member of the support group. Which just might be less of a support group and more of an exclusive club than most people realize.

Haha.
Anyways, I would love to see people talk about how this analysis is flawed and what you think is a much more likely meta to emerge as more and more information comes out.
