Re: Fuel Vs. Gears
Team 2544 is very early in the deciding. We are very clearly NOT going for a high goal fuel. Our prior experience in shooting of every kind were complete failures. Even if we go for the low goal fuel, it requires 360 fuel to get the 40 KPa required for the 1 QP. This 1QP is going to be like the tower at 0 health in Qualifying last year... very rare. An auto gear this year if all 3 teams can put gears on the airship, it is 120pts. Gears is a no brainer, but a fuel person is super important not for points in a game but for that elusive 1QP.
But that fuel person is only important in Qualifying since in the finals that 1 QP turns into 40 pts, as much as the reserve gear can get.
But Fuel hording may be a strategy this year, and if you can plow fuel in the boiler corner, you could get a pile up into the opening.
This is just thoughts from team 2544, so if it helps, you are welcome.
