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

Overall I think it will totally depend on what the top 2 robots can do at the event. If the top teams aren't too much better than the rest, lower seeded alliances will likely have the advantage. That said, if the top teams can mix lots of ball scoring in without significantly reducing gear scoring output, I think they will reign supreme. Two really good shooter/gearbots will be able to overcome a lack of a third climb. The real question at that point is will they be able to get all four rotors. I definitely don't think any alliance at early events will be unbeatable because of how time consuming four rotors are.

Edit: All these predictions all seem to be working under the assumption that alliances will select the best robots available during their turns to pick. Rarely ever do the top alliances get the 24th best robot in the event. They usually get a robot far better in reality.
