Re: What will the winners have over the rest of us

My prediction is that in general, the winning alliances in regional competitions, and particularly the winning alliance in Atlanta will consist of:

-1 robot that is a true tetra scorer, that is, they will be capable of scoring approximately 12 tetras per match. I can think of two primary designs that might be capable of such a feat:
1) a robot that can store 4+ tetras on its base and score them quickly (see Team 340's awesome robot)
2) a robot that can score 4+ at a time by using a forklift type design with a hinging fork (see "I wish my team's forklift could lift 4+ tetras").

-2 robots that will be strong, fast, and capable of quickly scoring on any of the goals.

Strategy, I imagine will go like this: the first minute and 20 seconds after the autonomous period will consist of trying to score as many tetras as possible. The remaining 40 seconds, the 2 strong/fast/single-tetra-scoring robots will begin strategically placing tetras so as to assure they come out on top as far as the rows are concerned.

I also expect there will be some wild and innovative defensive solutions that I haven't thought of yet. It's going to be a great competition. I can't wait.
