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

Here's what I expect to see in Chesapeake:

There might be a few times in which an alliance gets all 4 rotors, but it will be a rare sight and they likely won't be able to replicate it.

Far fewer than 16 robots per event will be able to climb not just weeks 1 and 2, but for the entire season up until DCMP. I'd actually expect the number of climbing robots at each event to be about 8. Because of this, I expect the higher-ranked alliances to have 2 climbing robots and the lower-ranked to have maybe 1 but probably 0 climbing robots.

On the other hand, I think lower-ranked alliances will be able to score more gears due to serpentine alliance selection. This is a year where (with the exception of climbing) it won't matter whether you can complete the tasks as much as it will matter how efficiently you can complete them. Because of this, it will be important to have 3 capable robots on an alliance.
