Totally agree, for an average cycler.

My only prediction:
The teams who up their game to rise above the pack will have a better shot -- yet the stats won't lie, and reliability will be huge. It also may come down to luck of the draw, as many alliances across the divisions will want 'full backs' or purely defensive robots.

Getting a taste of elims last year has made all the difference in our team's tenacity this year.

It's all about how honest a team is with themselves, and then figuring out a plan to move themselves up:
  • Honest starting point: we've only done 2 cycles on a field due to jams -- but the driver is capable of doing more, because he's done more in practice with a simpler bot
  • I've been searching for a 36T 20DP 0.502" hex broached gear just to save ourselves 3 seconds of match time over 4 cycles, which should give us that last cycle as we decide to hang. I could do 40:44 instead of 36:48, but I'm worried we'd lose critical turning agility at speed.
  • Fixing the shooter jams should give us 2 extra cycles.
  • Putting a more powerful motor on our launcher to reduce time between shots should give us an extra cycle.
  • Shooting from the corner would allow alliance partners who depend on the rear-center of the pyramid to do as they please without interference -- so an average cycler-team could practice that as much as possible. Reduced time of travel may also give an extra 3-4 seconds in the match. Corner shooting from the unprotected side also has a tendency to draw in some penalties from the other alliance.

Exactly. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVmN-lRZhU0 The fact that team 968 was such a spectacular blocker, along with 1538's great ground pickup, to both "clean up" our missed shots and do some cycles, was the reason our full-court shooter was able to be so effective in this match. To use a football metaphor, without an offensive line and a good wide receiver, the even the best quarterback in the world wouldn't amount to anything. But with both of the two... he can absolutely dominate a game.

Having been in tournaments with both Up Next! and S.W.A.T. this year, I will say that if they perform like they're capable of doing, I'll be very surprised if they're available to be on the same alliance. Especially to the #1 or #2 seed.

Thanks (to you and everyone else that's mentioned us like this) for the vote of confidence; I hope we deliver. Having been in tournaments with Camdenton before, and seeing video of them this year, that's an interesting alliance. I haven't seen 2471 this season, but with 2 Regional wins, being #1 & #2 pick, they sure must be doing something right.

EDIT: It'd be really interesting alliance, as has been pointed out to me by a teammate offline. 3284 is in Galileo....

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 ^^^
