Re: Winning Defensive Allaince?
Based on the 226 experience, I'm going to say that 3 offensive bots is the key. In the finals in Detroit, we did the best our first match when we went completely offensive, and the next two matches were progressively worse as we stepped up the defense. We won our first match by a landslide, and lost the second one by 1 point, and lost the third by a lot. I know (well, nothing is ever certatin, but I'm 95% sure) that if I had worried less about defense in the second match we would have won it.

I say that a dream team would be two robots that have the ability to stack with a great defense robot.
In our regional in Arizona we finished third overall and eliminated the alliance made up of the 1st and 2nd place ranked teams in the first round of the finals by playing defense. Our little blue bot has a two speed transmission (fast and faster), it is two ounces less than the maximum allowed weight, our frame was made of fiber glass, it drives with four CIM motors running four 10 inch pneumatic tires, two omni wheels (All wheel drive) and a brake that totally stops the robot from being pushed around but it is small enough to fit trough the field tetras . We had no problem removing tetras from underneath them by pushing them out. We didn't have problems maneuvering or pushing other robots around. We built the robot with stability in mind and after the competition there wasn't any significant structural damage on the robot. It even kept most of its paint on. It has an arm that can place tetras underneath the field tetras or pull them out but the pwm cable kept coming off during matches. |

Re: Winning Defensive Allaince?
Keep in mind that in order to score most robots require several moments of precise meneuvering. Defense does not require this precision. In Portland we were chosen for our aliance because of our defensive abilities, and we were able to do a reasonably good job preventing the other teams robots from scoring. We just hung out in the center of their side of the field and would dart in and push out of the way any robot that tried to score. The best defense (or offense.... whatever) against this was to try to send the best scoring robot to our half of the field while the other two kept our robot busy.
