Re: What will the winning robot have?

This game is already crazier than last year. Nothing is obvious. Good luck everybody...

but i think that the winning team/ best robot is going to be the robot that can cap ridiculously fast when they need to, buckle down and play some defense and have some INSANE plays on the field that make the crowd go "WOOOOOO!!!!" coach and driver also very big

Re: What will the winning robot have?

A fast durable chassis (2spd transmissions are over-rated for this game) and a drive team that can work together and a bot design that can allow for part to complete blind driving since the field is going to be a giant cluster-bang.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

in my opinion, the winning bot will most likely have a good vision mode coupled with a durable arm. durable arms will probably be a necessity this year since defensive blocking is allowed. cool colors are also a plus.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

The center is the least important unless you have a team that will be able to grab 3 rows.
The autonomous mode is points you should get, but don't NEED. If you can lose the autonomous mode ito make room to carry and cap two tetras at once, you'll top the score you would get with autonomous.

Having a robot capable of scoring at a decent pace, is of course necessary, but game play tactics will result in the most points.
My strategy: Cap your home corner goals too high to cap further, then with time running short, cap their corner, and remain to defend it and prevent them from getting in their end zone. At the least, you're disrupting rows and keeping them out of the endzone. With luck, you're scoring 10+ points while taking away their 20.
The corner goals are, coincidentally in a corner. Its easy for one robot to defend one, and near impossible to defend both.

Construction wise: I expect a robot able to safely carry two tetras to develop a significant score advantage, and win.

Wink Re: What will the winning robot have?

I think communication and strategy are far off more important than any technical ability... I mean, sure, it helps to build an efficient bot, but having a quick-witted coach with fast thinking and communication skills is extremely crucial. It needs to be someone with a great vision of the field, and that makes intelligent and quick decisions based on game possibilities...a brilliant strategy, to me, seems to be the key to winning...
And luck. Boy, will they be needing a whole lot of that...

Re: What will the winning robot have?

Id haveta say very good strategy, good alliances, and good defense. I think defense plays a big part in this years game.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

First thing I would say is that I see a lot of robots on their backs. Strong robots will do well. capping robots that do not flip will do well, and a good plan


Quote:
and your liable to get it capped when you rush back to the line for the +10 bonus
Why go back to get the 10 points. Do you think a team could get 3 robots in the back line if you are there. It is going to be hard enough to get everybody behind the line. try to get four behind the line?


Auto will be good but easy to block

This game is going to come down to a couple of things just like in the past teams try to do things and when it comes time to do it they will see it doesn't work and do something totally different.

Re: What will the winning robot have?

It will not be 'A' robot that will win this competition. I believe that it will be a luck and chance game. As long as the team has on bot to stack tetras, one that will be fast at geting tetras out in the game field, and one that is skilled at just defence, that team will be well set for the match.

Let's not forget that you are allowed to drive within the goals...so if a robot on your team can do that then you should be set (as long as there aren't tetras under every goal on your side).

Re: What will the winning robot have?

As many people said, it will need a many well done autonomous modes

Also, it needs to be able to hold multiple tetras at once for the rush at the end of the match

It needs to have a team with some good strategists

It needs an arm that can cap all goals (including the center) efficiently
