What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
My team is still in the middle of brainstorming, but does anyone else's team have more solid ideas? What are you guys thinking, gears only, balls only, a little of both? Does anyone have plans to trying climbing the rope?

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
The thing that bothers me about gears is that a: you can only carry 1 at a time (G27). b: the direct path to get gears is very easily blocked/defended and c: you can be bumped as much as anyone wants when you're trying to put the gear on the peg

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
It still seems like the balls just count for too little, so unless a team has a perfected aim and endless balls, gears just seem like the only viable strategy, and it feels like games will be gearbots with the matches being decided by an alliance's ability to climb

A really good point in the manual was that each team can modify and bring their own rope to comps. You can also knot the rope to make it easier for climbing.

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
...until you have placed all the gears, of course.
It seems that gears offer the best scoring opportunity, but that alone won't win, balls up high needs to also be a capability. I think that perfecting a ball launcher could be worth the effort, while placing gears (ideally using vision) is almost a requirement. Look at the points for placing a single gear (to turn the 'easy' rotor) in auto. |

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
An alliance can place up to 13 gears in a match (Page 22). I think 3 teams might do that in 2:15...

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
There are 600 balls on the field, with recycling, and with unlimited possession. That's definitely doable with the proper alliance...

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
Just by a rough estimation, based off page 34, 5 balls are processed a second. Going by that, 480 balls would take 96 seconds.(That leaves just under a minute)
So it is doable, but it'd certainly take a lot of coordination between alliance members and skilled drivers on each team. It just doesn't seem feasible to me. |

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
Isn't all 4 rotors spinning equivalent to 120 points? With the high goal being 3 fuel per point, how does reaching 120 points take 480 fuel? Wouldn't it be 360? I might have mixed something up, however 480 fuel is equivalent to 160 points, and not 120. Is there an additional bonus I missed? I see the 60 for getting a rotor spinning in autonomous, but that does not add up to 160.

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
But is it doable with your average alliance?

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
I'm terribly sorry, I realized my mistake and got mixed up thinking that for some odd reason 4*40 = 120...
Sorry about the mix up, my bad! Last edited by toastergod : 07-01-2017 at 14:18. |

Re: What objectives are you hoping accomplish in this game??
I think that towards the start (certainly in qual matches) alliances will focus on getting gears, as they are worth a lot of points and you only need 13 to get a RP.
However, once we hit playoffs and DCMPS, I think the gears will be much more heavily defended, and fuel scoring and climbing will become much more important. |
