Re: Predictions: A cynical view of reality

I agree with some of the ideas you posted but not some of the others

Speed is the most important thing this competition, but I don't think the fastest bot will win.

Shooters will have a really good chance, but I don't think three shooters will be the best alliance. Although they are well designed and speedy and simple, they will need the help of the taller more precise arm bots in a tight spot.

This is simply because a well designed arm bot will have a very hard time missing a hurdler, whereas a shooter could end up hitting other bots with the ball or be slightly off with aim, etc.

If a shooter can't get the ball off, then game over. Now I know most of them can, but some can't, and some can't consiently.

If a shooter can't get to his spot to shoot from, then he can't score, from what I see, they have a loose grip on the ball and can get stripped easier then arm bots, therefore, may have a harder time getting the ball to begin with.


I think the best alliance will be a shooter an arm bot and a racer. and TEAMWORK will win the matches. Arm bots getting the ball to the shooters, racers playing pick and letting the other bots get around the opposing team, arm bots place and picking off. Teamwork, Teamwork, Teamwork, will win this game, there is no way a single bot can do it alone this year.

Good Luck everyone!
