Re: Will Alliances Win?

I think a lot of people are missing the point here there's nothing more important than gears and climbing. Sure the 40 kPa is big but that can be done by one robot in half the match. Those other two bots just need to place gears and climb any team that wants to play after lunch on Saturday build a robot that will do gears passively and climb but don't disregard the drivetrain 6 cims 4 inch colsons, you don't need a shifter just be around 10ft/s good speed for cycling and defense. This is the year where younger teams build for Eliminations not for qualifications you can lose all your matches but if you're consistent with your gears and climbing and can hold your own on defense any team actually scouting and thinking strategically will call your number Saturday morning.
