 If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. - Adare180 [more] |

This was illustrated perfectly at Buckeye and LoneStar where Teams 47 and 16 were top seeded super ball grabbers but in the end lost to goal controllers. It is possible for a ball machine o win the elimination if they have a partner hat can control at leas one goal. They then could score balls and a goal or maybe just balls and robots. But they have to control or neutralize at least one goal - the advantage goes to the team that can control two goals with one robot, because they have
a second robot to either work one goal, or harry the ball handler. A tether machine might be able to beat a 2 goal handler alliance without tethers. So the best machine might not win but the alliance that plays the best will win.
