Re: Pre season competition alliance

My idea of a perfect alliance for regionals would be two amazing scorers. This can be a combination of dumper and shooter or two shooters or two dumpers. I believe the strongest alliance would have one shooter and one dumper, both able to fill a goal in one go. The third robot just needs to have excellent drivers, nothing else. With lower amounts of scoring talent at regionals, alliance captains should carefully consider better drivers for a third robot rather than another scoring machine. Scoring capabilities for the third robot would be nice, but I don't think we will see that sort of alliance until Champs. The third robot would be used for strategic pinning and would protect the scorers of the alliances trailers while they are scoring. This is my prediction for the perfect regional alliance. It will be interesting to see the different strategies that develop along the way and how different types of robots will be used.
