i agree and disagree with you at the same time....

Myth #1: The alliance who knocks the bins over first wins.
now it is true that some teams have the ability to move boxes back in to their zone or "clear the field" it is not the majority, and there will still be quite a few box bots which will not discount the importance of getting to the ramp first.

Myth #2: The best robots to pick are the ones with the best autonomous mode operation.
I understand where you are coming from but autonomous mode can do more things other then go over the ramp. thinks like knock boxes and go reverse into traversing arm bots....even though I do agree that alot more bots will be on their backs

Myth #3a: Teams that did well at Regionals will do well at Nationals.
this all depends on how much time teams put in in the pits. I have seen that teams that go to nationals use regionals to get their bots in shape now most bots will far greater then they were at the regional level which will make the game more exciting but also will change the way the game is played so I agree that scouting should use data from nationals but at the same time look at what teams did at regionals for full functionality at nationals.

MYTH 5: stacking won't mean anything as far as the outcome of the game: at the national level where most bots are going to be as functional as they ever were and as there are a large number of pusher/ KOTH bots the difference in points will be the stack....basicly don't discount stackin yet




I can;t wait to see you all there and good luck to all teams
