Go to Post See, building a really great robot is just a pseudo challenge for the concept of the whole FIRST program. It is just a phony way to bring people together to reach one common goal. - sanddrag [more]

Yes, the winning alliance was beatable. In fact, the runner-up alliance could have won, if they could have loaded 11 small balls and could have successfully placed both large balls on the goals. 4 robots in end zone + 2 large balls + 11 small balls = 71 points. If the balls were loaded fast enough, they could have easily done all this in less than a minute - 10X multiplier. 71 x 10 = 710 points. 710 seems to have been the scoring limit of Beatty's alliance. At the very least, the losing alliance could have matched the Beatty alliance's performance. And perhaps the stretcher could have somehow been integrated into the runner-up's strategy?

Team 48 Delphi E.L.I.T.E. was chomping at the bit to get a chance to play with the Killer Bees and WildStang in the playoffs. After rallying with a 537 (thanks in part to WildStang and the rest of that great alliance) and a 320 on Saturday, we sat in 11th place in Archimedes, ready, willing, and able to place the large balls up on top for the team. It seems that our articulated arm was able to do so quickly and consistently in Michigan and Florida. Alas, we weren't picked, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Congratulations to both alliances in the finals on executing a well-fought battle.
