What capabilities does a robot need to have in order to ensure they are picked to an alliance at champs? I suppose being a third or fourth robot doesn't really matter as it's highly likely that most 4th robots will see the field due to the nature of Stronghold.
What are teams looking for in a 3rd and 4th alliance member?
- Consistent auton that puts a ball in the tower, high or low
- Penalty free
- Does their task at a high level
What else? What's a high level?
Another question as well, can a defense-dedicated robot be selected, or does it make more sense to take the top available scoring machine and cheesecake on a blocker? How about a defense robot with a scoring autonomous mode and a climber?
