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

I think there will probably be about 2-3 alliances per event that are capable of getting 4x rotors, while pretty much all the other alliances will be capable of doing 3. I think we'll see some killer defense from the 3 rotor alliances to prevent the 4x alliances from getting 6 more gears on.

The 4x alliances might not even be the high ranked ones. Considering that the second pick of each alliance will be the only team with a good view of the loading zone, teams that get an earlier second pick due to serpentine might be at an advantage. There will most likely alliance captains and 1st picks that can utilize cameras well, but they will probably be focusing on fuel for the first ~1 min of the match to get 40kpa.

Another week 1-2 prediction:
Really bad gear control from some teams. A lot of teams are going to show up with sub-par, ill tested passive gear mechanism. Combined with the fact that 2/3 of the teams on each alliance will not have a good view of the loading zone, and most of these teams will probably not have a camera, we'll probably see a lot of dropped gears in quals.
