bots

I agree that it would be tough for 2 ball bots to beat 2 goal bots, but that is usually not what happens in the finals. Most ball bots are going to pick 2 goal bots to compliment them. Then, they are covered. If there is a match where we have to face 2 goal bots, then we can (and will if needed) let our two goal bots take them on, but, because ball bots usually seed high, it is very important for a ball bot to seed the highest, therefore picking the most powerful goal grabber, therefore being covered if we are against 2 strong goal bots. (a little confusing, eh?) Since seeding #1 can choice power bot #1, then we have a good chance of winning.

Edit: Us hybrid bots do have a good chance of 1. seeding high, and 2. picking good goal bots as a result of seeding high, therefore making a powerful alliance. The problem with most goal bots is that they have no power to choose who would compliment them because of where they seed. Therefore, I'm pretty sure there will be some ball bots at the top forming the alliances. A few fortunate goal bots will do some picking too, which will make some interesting goal bot/ goal bot vs. ball bot/ goal bot. If the ball bot has the best goal bot on their alliance, then their goal bot will get at least 1 goal, maybe 2, and the ball bot can get balls and score them, or, since many ball bots are hybrids, they can hassle the other bots, keeping them from getting home, and also possibly pushing their goal out if they leave it. /Edit

We(173) came close to winning 2 regionals. We won SBPLI, and came in second at NE. I think that 'hybrids', as we call them, will dominate. Hybrids being teams like us, 157, 121, that pick up 10+ balls, and have above average pulling power. Aztecs can pull most robots around(thanks to our secret wheels ) In a seni-final match at SBPLI, we towed 2 goals and a robots hooked betwwen them.

Yeah, I think a good combination of bot and a goal bot will win every time. This is what we (team 643) did at VCU and won and and at phili and almost won.
