I'm shocked 254 isn't going  |
Wow, thanks. Haha. I hope we do this well. We are using our 2011 drivers, but IRI will be their third event (after one this weekend and TARDEC), so I'll confirm that won't be a major factor.
Assuming your alliances, I think 6 could certainly upset 3, and also, if it comes to 1 v 2, I think 2 would win. 1718 built an epic machine this year, that could easily surpass your prediction. Not taking anything away from your 3rd alliance, but I believe that #6 would be hard to beat.
As for 1 v 2, I think 67, 33, and 51 would be powerhouse, though 51 could be replaced by 469, 2337, 25, etc. That alliance would have a great chance of upsetting your 1114-469-1732. Certainly 1732 would not present the opportunity 294 so intelligently took on Einstein (shove into goal), but I think the defense of 67 or 33 would be sufficient to at least quiet 469 and its partners (especially with both teams' strategic prowess), while the remaining robots would score like mad. With all three 'bots able to hang, that would be quite the powerful alliance.
As for your selections, I don't think the diverting ability will be seen quite so highly at IRI, given the premier diverter's defeat at the Championship (despite many, many impressive performances to make it that far).
Just some thoughts.
Edit: It appears this was something of a very late reply. My apologies.
