Re: What are you planning to do this year?
60 points is the money, thats for sure. our team realized this from the beginning. however, its fairly obvious that 60 points is the money. from polls on these forums and other things ive hears, it sounds like a lot of robots are going for the 60 point bonus. that being said, a robot who raises two othjer bots doesnt really stand out. in the end each alliance is going to have one robot that consistently raises the other 2. this is why we decided to go for the tubes. we figured, being able to manipulate the tubes quickly and effectively, and be able to be lifted by other robots, will make us stand out. having a solid autonomous and great drivers who can place the tubes efficiently can get our alliance a chance at a big row. a row of 5 is 32 points, and that is doable with a good autonomous and solid driving (as well as some defense)
