team arrangements
I agree that ball bots are key in qualifying and goal bots are necessary in elims. understanding the fact that boal bots can't get to elims without ball bots, I don't think that balls matter that much in elims. if one alliance gets all the goals (or at least two of them) and scatters all the balls (therefore making it hard to collect them), then that alliance has won their match. however, having seen these matches, I understand that the "ideal" alliances don't always win. we (team 365, MOE) designed our robot this year for elimination rounds. we designed it to win every time. our capabilities of three goals freeze scoring (I'm done talking about our capabilities now). we've seen some pretty high torque and high traction robots there that could torque us around (but we changed things to fix that problem). basically what I'm trying to say is that in elims, you need a goal bot and a HIGH TRACTION/TORQUE goal bot. a lot of these teams that scurry around and gather all the balls and dump them into one goal only use wheel chair wheels. they do nothing for teams like us. just chiming in my two cents
