I do know that whichever 2 powerhouses team up on Archimedes, they will pick a strong defense bot, in anticipation of that Curie team. The defense bot will have to hold off 1114 to starve 469's loop. Kind of a tall order. So any good defense robot's out there on Archimedes, show the scouts of the powerhouses what you can do! |
First, I would LOVE to be on an alliance with 25 although I agree its defiantly depends on how everyone plays, and second this the job of guarding 469 has historically gone to us at our past compititions. I think that in order to play this role a robot needs to be on top of its game and can't have even the slightest trouble aquiring and kicking balls from the far zone. Only then can they succeed in stopping them (kind of).

If you leave 469 by themselves, you will not outscore them. This is a fact. We have been at a district and states with them and have yet to have seen this work even once in the eliminations.

We too look ahead to a possible 469-1114 alliance showdown. And we think we have a solution. But that remains to be seen. WC

Many other teams have thought they have had a solution to 469 and yet they have still won all their competitions. Hopefully you guys have better luck, but then again thats what "remains to be seen" means
. I would Love to see what you have planned but I suppose I'll have to wait until Atlanta
