Archimedes 2013!!!

[M.O'Reilly]

Unfortunately, I think performance this year depends greatly on match schedule (more so than years past).

3314 is a great shooter. The won the Bridgewater district as the #1 seed, but then they were on the outside of elims at MARC for who knows what reason. I can't explain that, except for poor luck of the draw at MARC.

Drawing from MARC, alliances that succeeded in elims did not focus on defense whatsoever. The only dedicated defenders were to block full court shooters, and it was extremely effective. I think an FCS that can't get under the pyramid even making elims is far fetched. It's too easy to stop.

If I had a 3 disc autonomous mode, I wouldn't trade it to stop the opposing alliance from getting an extra two discs on the center line. Perhaps after you shoot, but certainly not before.
