Re: 1549's stratagy...

I must say, I was stunned when I first saw 1549's base. Most of the time, I was in the pits and got to see few matches. When I was on the pit crew for the elimination matches, I saw 1549 get stuck on the lexan shields on the ramp, exposing their treads. I was blown away by the sheer powerful-looking-ness of it. Especially since I first saw casters up front, I didn't know how they could play defense so well.

Very few robots were able to use the camera effectively at GLR, and those who could couldn't respond fast enough to defense. In this game, with the precarious objective of putting balls through the air into a goal, defense will definitely play a major role in team strategy. As a matter of fact, finals just seemed to be 1 scoring robot and 2 defensive robots against a similar alliance. I don't see any robots that can be moved somewhat easily making it very far, unless they have ridiculously fast camera tracking or bodyguards.
