thats what this thread is about

Aye, this thread is about opinions. My post is not meant to be derrogatory. I tried to write it in the same tone as the original; my apologies for not keeping particular parts of my opinion to myself, which will be edited.

My post stated a direct opinionated argument against his opinion. The original opinion was precisely about what winning alliance we'll see on Einstein in Atlanta, and it was all stated very clearly and directly: all bots other than shooters bot will be "weeded out" before Einstein. It seems very based upon what's been seen in videos, whereas many teams who have succeeded with spectacular elevators/arms may not have had time or resources to take a video. If you can't imagine a 'spectacular' lift, well, I can't exactly help you there. However, maybe the videos in later weeks can.
