: First off... i think assuming in every match there is more than one team that can balance 2 goals is some what overestimating the abilities... but hey, it could happen..

: and in that case.. and case in point for all.. any time in a match that you have 2 robots that can perform the same function.. there are two things to analyze..

: 1.) Whose robot is the fastest and most reliable for that task?

: 2.) If the other 2 robots can't do much of anything (or are just very limited) then analyze the 2 robots who do the same thing to see who has the most "other functions" that would help maximize points in a match.. (i.e. of the 2 2-goalbalancing robots, one can score large balls, one can't...neither of the other 2 can score large balls.. you would want the large ball scorer to do that while the other balances to increase points)

:
: On the topic of "considering points" etc and things you thought teams didn't take into consideration in Quincy.. i think you'll find several teams with "playbooks" that already have most of the scores and scenerios analyzed for the various situtations.. I'm working on one for WPI and I know of other teams who have already developed them....

what the heck am i spending time on this for?

okay well, not all teams are going out of their way to make "strategies".... i do however disagree that it is improbably to have more than two robots that can balance goals in a match.

it seems to me from the robots i have seen so far, that majority are picking up balls, followed by balancing goals, followed by controlling the bridge.

it is fairly common to see robots that can both pick up balls and have two hooks as an attempt to balance.

but like u said, who knows what will come about when we get down there.

i wish these "strategies" can be written down for everyone because i have high doubts that the organization of coaches and strategies will be ideal each time.

time will tell?
