You really need 3 robots good with gears to do well, this is another reason why top seeds will find it difficult to carry their alliance partners.
+1

I'd almost rather be seed 5, 6, or 7 to get a consistent 2nd pick. In week 1/2, fuel bots will be top ranked teams. Gear bots will be the top picks. Climbers will be at the back end of the snake draft.

IMHO, 3 rotors + 3 hangs wins most competitions week 1/2. Seeds 5-8 have best shot at having 3 climber bots. Top alliance with 2 climbers MUST put up 50 points in fuel to match 3 climbers, a tough order for week 1/2 methinks. Certainly some can do it, but not most.
