Yah i totaly agree with Myth 5. Most of the regionals people were just worrying about getting their bot working and getting qualified for nationals... I mean lets look at this, alot of teams have never used their functions other then their KOH and pushing power. Did technokats even use their suction cups yet?
How many teams have stackers and did one of the "Yah we used it once at *insert regional name* but we didn't think it was a viable option, wooo go autonomous mode that kills the wall" But now just about every robot can kill the wall in autonomous in some form or another....and ever robot can obviously knock over stacks, but not many can still build them efectively and efficently, those teams that have been doing it at all their regionals consistently i feel will finaly stand out at nationals and get some recognition.
<EDIT> I forgot under the bar. TRaveling under the bar though sometimes dificult after the zones have been clean can be very useful!</edit>
Atleast thats my hope and my opinion...
As i see it the best aliance for the finals is 2 KOH robots and 1 robot that can stack and has the ability to get under another robot on the ramp and that can play defense or offense when the situation dictates.
But we'll see... only time will tell!
