Re: What are the most desirable attributes top seed teams are looking for in a robot?

I would wager that most top seed teams will be looking for robots that are very good in the captain's specialty as a first pick. This would take a lot of the pressure off of the captain to carry their team to achieve the would-be RP conditions for the bonus points (100 points for all 4 rotors or 40 points for 40 kPa).

For second pick they will probably want a solid defense bot, as there's not much space for all 3 robots to move easily around the airship.

For both first and second pick, I bet that climbs will be a must-have. That's a very easy 50 points per climbing bot.
