Re: Predictions on how the games are gonna go!
An immobile robot on your alliance = 40+ point disadvantage
These robots will dictate the outcome of a match more than anything else.
It's week 1. Things break, teams aren't totally prepared, keys fall out, chains slip, programs are run instead of downloaded, PWM cables come loose. A lot of "shift" happens this week.
Non-mobile and semi-mobile robots have always made regular appearances in qualifiers. But in past years, better than average teams could still dig their alliance out of a hole. (In fact last year, I almost witnessed an alliance of three no-shows beat an alliance of one mobile robot)
Come 2nd pick time, at regionals without deep fields, expect reliable drivetrains and strong human players to round out the top seeds.
