1) the platform bot - no real tubing strategy. during most of the game some defence is played, possibly a tube or two is placed. it shines at the end, when it unfolds into a giant 12 foot high platform with ramps that its alliance partners climb onto. this or it has two massice platofrms it pulls up. basically a 60 point bot if the alliance works with it

2) the confused bot - some of everything. this bot cna place some tubes, probably on the first and secnd rows only. it does okay with that. at the end of the match it can elevate one bot. 30 points+tubes. thats respectable

3) the manipulator - arm of god. this bot can place tubes quickly and efeciently. it can place them anywhere, and probably has a good camera system. when the match is almost done it has to choose between placing a spoiler or running back for 30 points by getting lifted by someone on their alliance

4) everything bot - perfection. this is the regional winning bot. it cna place tubes efficiently, has a working camera. it can lift one or two bots. very manuverable, yet can push well. here will be very few of these bots.

I completely agree with this.. these will be the main four types. There may be a few offshoots (not sure how) but besides that these are them. Personally I think ethier two or four will be the best because this year seems to be all about stratagy. If your a bot that can do most things required, you can change your stratagy a lot better than one that is, say, a lifting bot. It's going to be really neat, I think most of the time, a lot of the winning will be place on who is put with who. Because like what was said before, the ideal team is two scorers and a lifter, but that won't always be the case lol. I can't wait!!
