Re: Best Atlanta Alliances

I think three offensive robots can win. I don't think they all need to be "great" scoring robots though. AS long as they can put up 3 or 4 tubes in a match they are a threat. Put 2 robots that score 3 or 4 tubes plus one that can score 5-7 tubes and you have yourself a killer alliance. It's very hard to defend 1v1. It's easy for the offensive robot to pull away and run then score elsewhere. Another benefit to that strategy is if one robot is being hit are they can back off from scoring and defend the other two offensive robots. There is no way to shut down an alliance that is all offense. It is possible to keep them from scoring a row of 7 or 8 but still. All they need is a row of 6 and ramps are useless against them. And you cant say well the other alliance can score too and then it will be 64-4 or 64-8 and ramps can work again because then that leaves the match 3v2 and the offensive alliance's score will be even higher. I think if an offensive alliance is put together and strategizes wight they could very well be an unstoppable force, as long as they can score 6 tubes total in a match.

Just my .02
