Re: One machine?
I think the last three years have been dominated by teams who had very good strategies coupled with very good robots and were able to pick alliances that complimented them well.
In 2001 Beatty was incredible, but there were other robots that could do what the did. 60, 177, 308 were some of the big ones that did the same thing as beatty. The difference is Beatty picked an alliance that complimented them better than those teams.
I think besides having a good robot with a good alliance, sometimes it comes right down to whether or not it's your day. Look at wildstang from last year, they had bad luck at their regionals, but it all came together at nats. One day of good luck can make all the difference.
This year there will be a dominant robot, probably more than one. If they get some good allies they can take it.
