I find that the goal bot/ball bot relationship is vital in seeding and elim rounds. We are a very proud ball bot and we use goal bots a lot in seeding rounds and in elim rounds. Actually we played most of our elim rounds in CT with another ball bot and won. So you certainly can't say ball bots are not used in elims. I think that the best alliance is the alliance that is comprised of both ball bots and goal bots. Either ratio will work fine. Also if the ball bot is also very good at grabbing a goal then that help a lot because then only one goal is needed. We had a match or two in NY where we were alone on the field and all we had to do was grab a goal and fill it with balls- 21 balls and a goal is 31 points easy- thats more than 3 goals eh? I love our ball bot and I love a lot of the other ball bots out there and I really think that it is going to be the ball bot-goal bot alliance that will take it away in FL.

I would not say that you guys are a ball bot. I'd say you're what RAGE calls a hybrid. Hybrid being a robot that grabs a goal, and balls, but controls the goals very well. I think that is the key to your guys sucess. Since you own any goal you grab, then your ball handling ability can make up for the other 2 goals free on the playing field.
