dream team

[nuggetsyl]

Out of the robots you have seen so far what would be the dream team of this game. I say 254 111 296 would be a great team

[Koko Ed]

25, 1126 and 229 would make an interesting show but I'd think they're run out of balls (two of them have to be human player loaded).

[Joe_Widen]

111, 494, and 1625 would dominate any other team hands down. I think that the alliances score for the match would be somewhere around .... o say maybe 200

[Billfred]

Give me 25, 86, and 1902.

Why 86 and 1902? Despite the occasional tip, 86 is in my opinion better at receiving balls from the floor and HP than 233. 1902 is in for their autonomous--ten balls in the corner plus a few in the center will be a sure-fire win. Throw in a generally awesome defensive ability with its volume offense, and you're got a robot that is aces in my book.

1126,1114,217

Would take anyone..

217, 254, (469/111)

Get this..

(469/111) picks up..

217 loads up from the human player..

254 HP's some, picks up some..

When they are satisfied, they all head to their scoring zone, and ALL go on the ramp. 217 in the corner, since they have a turret, 254 down the middle, and (469/111) on the other corner, because of their turret. When all three of them are on the ramp, you CANNOT defend them.. instead you have to just sit and watch them unload. In fact, they could take turns, to ensure that all their balls go in.

1114,111, and 469.. Think this alliance would take it all the way, just look at it and think.

that would be both jaw dropping and painful at the same time...especially if you're against that. I'd be worried that too many balls would bounce out though.

How about 126, 177, 176

All three score both center and corner, quickly and while being defended. All three have multiple autonomous options. All three can sweep the floor clean. All three can play good defense. All three can get on the ramp.

I have seen many GREAT teams this year, but I would love to see the 2003 National Finalist alliance of 25, 343 and 494 back together again. I think that would be a tough group based on performance so far this year. Raiders, MIM's, and Martians....OH MY!

"All three can play good defense." This has to be consider when choosing teams; however, a strong offense in autonomous and the other periods is also good. I haven't seen enough matches to make any sort of picks, so I'm just going to watch this weekend and next at West Michigan.

[nehalita]

We would like to see Team 25, 86, and 254 together. =)

-Arefin and Neha.

[Jherbie53]

My dream team would include a robot that can dump the 1pt goal in autonomous, and two robots that can shoot the 3pt goal in auton, and all can play defense to some degree. Which teams fit these roles? I just don't know. But if anyone thinks of teams, you know what to do.

1114 with those two would be nice but remember at GLR 1114 was with sister team 1503 i think and 67 in the finals. They went all the way. One thing I would like to see is 1114, 1503?, and 1860? all three of the niagra triplets in one match on the same team.

But truthfully 111, and 469 for sure in a match. And the third is hard but although Beatty didnt win and some people might be tired of hearing about them it did take all 3 robots in the finals including 111 to stop 71. If you let them get 1 shot off they will prob have about 9 to follow. There crab drive really helped them with there offensive manuevers. I really didnt get to see 217 in a match but heard graeat things from them at Detroit. They got there bot working and were making shots left and right.

Thinking of 111, 469, it might be a good idea to have a good defensive robot that can heard alot of balls and dump in the lower goal. Such as 322 or 1. 322 especially can hold like 40 balls and dump really fast, plus as an added bonus a good bot for defensive purposes of holding off defenders while ur team is trying to shoot. The same thing with 1 they can pickup balls and dump them and when they go for the lower goal the can be almost midfield to make them in the lower goal. Plus this robot can shoot balls if neede and play nas a good blocker on defense and a good screener of offense.

When making a All-Star team dont try to make alliances that will go out and just shoot. There robot might be able to sink all balls in auto mode, but what if they are top heavy and tip easy. The other alliance will have 2 minutes to cover up to a 100 point defecite. take away 25 for ramp and thats 75. most matches I saw in the finals were between 50-70 points for each alliance. That score was with defense being applied without defense and set of three robots in the finals could vary well score 100 + points.
