Re: Fuel Vs. Gears
While gears seem like an awesome opportunity for scoring points, one has to consider if everyone goes for gears, not only does that not create a balanced alliance at all but there is only 2 spots for gear loading, and with 3 robots trying to use those loading stations could cause quite a commotion and a jam up. The alliance would have to be very careful in their strategy planning. And that's assuming that no one on the other alliance is playing defense.
Fuel is going to be difficult because in order to even match the same amount of points that gears can achieve a team would have to put 360 out of 500 fuel in the low goal. However, seeing as a lot of teams are looking at getting gears it could be a smart decision to go for fuel to create a well balanced alliance.
This is all assuming the other alliance won't be playing defense.
None of this is taking into account auto, but mostly just alliance strategy. This entire game is coming down to excellent strategy, excellent teamwork, and an INCREDIBLY well working robot. I feel like the debate between fuel and gears is like being stuck between a rock and a hard place
