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

I dont see a consistent hanger being left for the second round of picks (although I would love to be mistaken).

I think two hangs and 3 rotors will be achiveable by the top alliances, with the differentiating factor being teleop/auton fuel, and whether the first gear is done in auton or teleop.

Defense and no match practice for drivers makes me think the 4 rotor alliance will be very rare, at least in weeks 1 and 2.

This actually makes me think that alliances that are seeded 5-8 might have a better shot over other years. If they can get a third pick that climbs consistently, they are at a massive advantage, that can only be offset with a ton of fuel, or an extra rotor. If they know that they only need to keep the opposition within 50 points, they'll make sure that fourth rotor doesn't happen, and then it comes down to restricting the fuel the opposition scores.
