Re: The Sleeper Robots
Easy...
Pittsburgh's sleeper was Regional Champs 1708:
- Rookie Team
- Robot had no arm
- Robot was no more than a foot tall
But when they were your alliance partner, you absolutely could count on them to get control of your home row (which they did basically every single match) and hold it right till the end.
As the coach for Team 188, I didn't have time to scout all the teams, and see all the matches. I depended heavily on student scouts to develop strategies for every match depending on who were playing with/against. The first time we were teamed up with 1708, my strategy head came up to me and said: "Don't worry about the home row, get 1708 to take care of it - go out to the middle row right off the bat and apply pressure there."
I thought he was crazy, but my strategy head had NEVER given be bad information before.
We went out there, and sure enough, 1708 took control of our home row, and held it right to the end, even having enough time and space to cross the field and play defense on the other alliance.
