Re: How to win Steamworks? (Weeks 1/2)

I don't think we'll see a lot of dedicated defenders outside of those deemed not suitable for other tasks by their alliance partners. Instead, alliances will likely use more hit-and-run tactics to try to disrupt their opponents without going too far out of their way. Alliances that finish their gears or fuel before their opponents will often opt to play defense.

This year, I think many mid-level alliances will do very strongly. This is a year that requires 3 fully-competitive robots on each alliance. First and second seed alliances that are forced into picking less-than-competitive partners will struggle greatly to compensate, especially because powerhouse teams will likely be shooter-focused. No reasonable amount of fuel can account for not getting 4 rotors turning.

Personally I think any alliance worth their salt will get their rotors turning, likely with some time to spare. If I'm misjudging how difficult the rotors will be, alliance will be wise to invest more robot time into the task. In playoffs, is red alliance gets 4 rotors turning and blue does not, red will win the match almost all of the time.
