dream team

[Nawaid Ladak]

233, they just scored like 39 pts in ten seconds at boston.

343, has same design as 233, so could mean double trouble.

254, you go to focus on this team as a distraction... you can not, because this team has tooo many offensive threats..... and i know all can play some defence as well

the best defence is a good offence.....
but yet i like the tipping.

[Lea103]

we could all see some serious action with the combo of 25, 103, and 293. 25 and 293 are great, the human player loading doesn't seem to affect them in the least. also, 293 can play some serious defense

[Kyle Love]

Don't forget about 1024 and 85...they will stun all...also noteable is 1038 and 135.

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

I would like to see 254, 1111, and 175 in an alliance. (254, no questions asked.) (1111 and 175 were some of the best multi-purpose robots I've seen at Cheaspeakes.)

[gizmoman1089]

team 25 is an amazing shooter and fighter and after watching the Boston regional, team 233 is also. if you put those two teams together with another shooter/defensive bot,like ummmmmm... team 1279 they might just be unstoppable.

[Rick TYler]

I'll just restrict myself to robots I've seen in person: 254, 968, 753. You know about the Poofs and Johnny Five, but you might not know 753, which is a tank-treaded shoving monster that was agile enough to hold 254 to about 6-8 points one match at Portland. They were on the winning alliance with 254 at PNW, too. They sort of shoot the center goal, but who cares? You pick a robot, and it never scores with 753 guarding it. I really like 330, the Beach Bots, and 488, the X-Bots, but we only get to put together one alliance, right? It also hurts to leave out 492... and 1138... &c. Actually, Top Gun played defense really well, too, but we aren't quite in 753's league.

And, hey, the idea was to put together an interesting alliance, right?

[Lil' Lavery]

These play off of what I have written about ideal alliance structure in other threads:

Best I have seen in person:
343, 1731, 1414

Best alliance so far:
254/968, 1114/1503/1680, 395
All 3 (6) of those spots are very slight though, the alliance could easily become:
233, 111, 1414
or many other combinations.

[Tyler Olds]

Got to go with 111,1625,469

[Tim Delles]

okay to add another alliance to the situation I'd love to see

111, 1114/1503, and 1901

111 - I've watched them on webcast and they look amazing. 2 Regional Wins with thier amazing machine. Great offense and defense when needed

1114 - I haven't gotten the privledge to see this triplet in action but i'm sure it is one heck of a site to see. 2 Regional Wins, and a great machine. Great offense.

1503 - same as 1114

1901 - Yeah this may be a rookie team but I think they have what it takes. This compact little machine was one that took me by suprise at FLR. 2 Rookie Inspiration awards and a great robot.

111, 494, 1747

[Tyler Olds]

Now here's the $1,000,000 question: Why pick the twins or the triplets over one or the other???? I mean yes there's driving skill involved, but why are people picking 494 over 70 and same thing for the triplets???

[nuggetsyl]

because a copy is not an orginal

shaun

[Tim Delles]

Most people are picking 1114 over 1503 or 254 over 968 or 494 over 70 because some people aren't making educated choices here.

However 254 over 968. My reasoning would be:

254's drivers have proved in the past they are good. They can handle all situations thrown at them, however 968 hasn't been on the big stage like 254 has. I'm just a little skeptical of how 968 would react out thier. (nothing against you guys)

1114 over 1503. This would be hard to make a choice because you would actually have to see how they play each other to make a good choice. But once again I would have to say it comes down to drivers.

494 over 70 because 494 is known as a Defensive robot. So since they have an offensive robot we all know they can play both, even if thier robot doesn't look like a defensive one right off the bat.

just my 2 cents on that little issue.

We were at the Waterloo Regional and 1114 has much much better drivers than either 1680 or 1503. All three robots performed very well, and we were thankful for the alliance with 1680, but 1114 had an absolutely incredible drive team.
