Will Alliances Win?

[edesirim]

This year, in quals, there will not be many alliances that can get the four rotors turning, even the top teams. So if you can get those 6 gears plus a little bit of fuel in the high goal to offset the score and a reliable climber, you'll be able to rank high in quals. Pick another robot that is a good gear-er or fuel-er and you focus on your prospective tasks plus a raw defense bot and that's a winning alliance. I just think its going to be really hard to separate out scores in qualification alliances based on how those gear tiers are set up.
