Re: How to win Steamworks? (Weeks 1/2)

I see the most likely winning alliances for the early weeks pretty much like I did at the end of the first week of build:
  • One fuelbot (full robot width floor intake plus ability to get from hoppers)
  • One gearbot with floor pickup, consistent and likely fast
  • One passive gearbot that is fast with a good/great driver

At least two, and likely all three, will climb.

This alliance will be able to score both the fuel40+kPa and four rotors against light defense.

As weeks go by, the mix will move towards two fuelbots and one gearbot, or a fuelbot, a gearbot, and a defender.
