Re: What will separate the good from the great?
Match Strategy and Driver Practice will trump all in my opinion.
If you look at the questions purely in the statistical sense "great" robots might have higher shooting percentages, cross defenses very quickly ETC. However, I define the great teams as the ones that win regionals/districts. In this sense, the pure stats don't matter. All that matters is wins. I believe teams that win the most will be the ones with the most practiced drive teams and the best match strategy each and every match even if their robot is statistically "worse" than other robots. |

Great robots will do a lot on their own. Great teams will not only get the most out of their own robot, but they will also be able to plan, sell, and implement an effective match strategy that gets their various partners to produce efficiently and function as true alliance. They will have effective scouting that gets the needed information to the right people in a timely fashion. They will have a pit crew that keeps the robot functional and makes sure the alliance partners are operable. They will be able to maintain a sense of order in the chaos of the match. I think that what will separate the "good" from the "great" is the team behind the robot. |

There seems to always be too much emphasis on the robot's capabilities when it is really the capability of the team/alliance that scores points and win matches. An efficient pit that keeps the mechanical/electrical/power requirements for a robot fulfilled is vital this year because the robots are going to take a good deal of contact both from other robots and the defenses. A good strategy for the alliance, developed before you get to the field and supplemented by scouting knowledge of both the opposing alliance and your partners. Practice with the robot, keeping in mind the contingencies that might be faced on the field. Planning for different strategies. A team has to know its limitations and make a plan to optimize what it can do for an alliance. This is what separates good from great.... IMO |

Re: What will separate the good from the great?
Breacher Bots:
A good bot will be able to create a breach on its own, every match. A great bot will be able to create a breach on its own every match, even if an alliance partner gets stuck in one of the defenses. Plus, as it is breaching, it will be able to grab boulders from the neutral zone and put them into the tower. Shooting specialists: A good bot will be able to make 4-5 complete cycles, scoring nearly all the boulders in the tower. A great bot will be able make 6-8 complete cycles, scoring nearly all the boulders in the high goal. |
