And at least at SVR, the red alliance would get at least 2 containers (1678 wasn't competing with anyone) and it was fairly clear that 254+1678 could outscore the blue alliance (just by pure stacking speed), so the two containers 5027 was trying to get wouldn't have decided the match. By champs, this will no longer be true. Teams aiming for Einstein are going to have to be willing to cheesecake and be cheesecaked, and 1678 knows this. They're just been getting some practice.


After attending two regionals and watching countless webcasts, my opinion on this game hasn't changed. It's still amazing to watch at the highest levels (go watch qual 88 at SVR if you don't believe me), but the huge gap between the few top teams and the average team makes a typical match less than exciting. Recycle Rush is a great engineering challenge, but a terrible game.
I have a feeling canburglers will be a lot faster at champs to the point where cheesecake is not enough to match with dedicated can grabbers. Question is how many fast canburglers will there be per division. 4,8, 20? How many there are will affect how much canburglers cheesecake will be needed if at all.
