Re: Make your Champs predictions!

I'm really curious how the top seeds are going to pick their alliances. Aside from 1986, and 1114 most of the top tier teams in each division are ground pick-up robots and most alliances with 2 ground pick up bots don't do very well unless one of them can also grab frisbees from the feeder station. It looks like the top seeded teams are going to have to choose between a double ground pick up alliance with another powerful robot, or a less offensively powerful robot with feeder station pick up.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!

Galileo: 1114, 118, 2630
You all know 1114 and 118, but 2630 is the key for this alliance.
They will upgrade every alliance. Their robot, Spitfire is one of the accurate FCS in the Championship. With very skilled drivers and great shooter, they also can play cycles very well.

Newton: 1986, 1538, 3339.
1986 with 7 discs autonomous and very fast cycles, 1538 with good ground pick up, and 3339 as a 3rd robot with a very effective 50 points climb& dump.

As a couple others have stated, it seems unlikely that 1114 will seed first, as long as their own autonomous points are capped at 18 (unless they add a magic weightless floor pickup, which I could actually see them doing). A good 7-disc autonomous team (the best on Galileo are probably the two from Texas that do it) should be able to finish with the same record as them, but more autonomous points.

Huh? I'm puzzled about how we could have been doing 7-disk autonomous for 3 regionals without ground pickup.

You guys do have great ground pickup, but I think the person that posted what you quoted was referring to the fact that you cycle a lot in your matches.
Great robot this year and team 195 looks forward to competing with you and all the other great teams in newton.

What I meant by that comment was that you do ground pick up for autonomous but you seem to favor feeder station pick-up for tele op. Unless you guys completely change your strategy for champs i'm guessing that you are going to continue with feeder station pick-up. The main point I was trying to get at is that you can run cycles which compliments a powerful ground pick up robot much better than another ground-pick-up-only bot would, this helps you in two ways:

1) You can pick from the best ground pick up bots and use them to their full potential without fighting for frisbees.

2) You are a more attractive pick for powerful ground pick up bots since they don't want to have to fight with their alliance partners for frisbees.

I agree they are unlikely to seed first, however they are still and extremely powerful team that is likely to get picked by a ground pick up bot due to the reason stated above ^^^
