Hrm.. people keep forgetting some awesome bots..

67 - The best stacker I've seen anywhere. 6 boxes at ypsi.. kept having bad luck though at regionals..

68 - Trucktown has been having really bad luck, but they were awesome alliance partners, if they only hadn't screwed up in autonomous mode twice in a row Very strong bot though..

292 is a really strong bot.. we flipped them once though.. hehe

16 and 27.. both small, very fast, excellent autonomous modes as well.

111 - Cant forget them.. very innovative design, such good control too. Fast, good autonomous mode as well.

Favorite rookie team: 1188 Oaktown Crewz.. their driver rocked the house at ypsi! Didn't seed so well though..

On my personal feelings on what strategy will win:

A big strong robot with large wings or something along those lines.. such as 68 or 45, paired with two small fast bots such as 16 or 27 that can go under ramp and stuff. The bot with wings has to have a good autonomous mode so they can knock all the boxes over at first.. the little bots go knock over stacks and move stuff around. Thats what worked a lot from what I've seen.. just people catching bad breaks.
