Capabilities Needed to be Picked at Champs

Where do you think a robot that could do 6 high goals (none in auto), cross 2 classes of defenses in auto, and scale (no foot print scale) would get picked?

If the robot in question does so every match then it will likely be picking.

What teams will be looking for will depend on seeding. Higher seeded alliances will value reliability over taking chances. However, I think the best 2nd and 3th picks will be robots that can reliably do both of the Cat B defenses (ideally in autonomous), get on the batter, and potentially hang. The Cat B defenses take the longest time to do. It's almost guaranteed either the alliance captain or the first pick will be low bots. Being able to do the drawbridge is nice, but sally door is also nice. Teams are starting to choose the Sally Door over the Drawbridge because visibility is now being valued more than the ability to stop a breach. Breaches are going to happen no matter what you throw out there.

To this point, the Sally Port is so much easier to "tap" than the drawbridge. 4607 can damage the Sally Port quickly, but the Drawbridge just sucks for everybody.

Anywhere from 1st pick to not picked depending on consistency...
