Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
I don't mean to hurt any feelings, but I'll speak frankly as our scouting leader.
For our alliance, we were looking for 2 hurdlers and 1 defensive bot in our alliance. Therefore, we accepted our partner 2024 becuase they could hurdle relatively reliable.
After that, we looked at defensive bots (which, by preventing at least one opponent from scoring 8 points, is a way higher benefit to the alliance in f than 2 points a lap), and the top of the list list were 8, 2628, and 114. All three played excellent defensive games. As you saw in finals, 8 played great defense, and how much defense can determine a game.
Also, 8 and 2628 showed good driver thinking under pressure by knocking off enemy balls that would have scored 12 points otherwise.
