Best Atlanta Alliances

[burkechrs1]

I think three offensive robots can win. I don't think they all need to be "great" scoring robots though. AS long as they can put up 3 or 4 tubes in a match they are a threat. Put 2 robots that score 3 or 4 tubes plus one that can score 5-7 tubes and you have yourself a killer alliance. It's very hard to defend 1v1. It's easy for the offensive robot to pull away and run then score elsewhere. Another benefit to that strategy is if one robot is being hit are they can back off from scoring and defend the other two offensive robots. There is no way to shut down an alliance that is all offense. It is possible to keep them from scoring a row of 7 or 8 but still. All they need is a row of 6 and ramps are useless against them. And you cant say well the other alliance can score too and then it will be 64-4 or 64-8 and ramps can work again because then that leaves the match 3v2 and the offensive alliance's score will be even higher. I think if an offensive alliance is put together and strategizes wight they could very well be an unstoppable force, as long as they can score 6 tubes total in a match.

Just my .02

All you guys are syaing that u need 3 scorers or two scorers.....no all u need is an alliance that works together and are good communicators....us, 123 and 903 won detroit because we communicated well.....only 1 of us could socre on the rack and that was 123, us and 903 just played defense and we were ramp bot....all u need in conisitency and a good defender to win

My ideal alliance is the one that wins.

The best alliance is the alliance that can play any strategy. This means that they need 3 scorers. One or two of them need to be a ramp/arm hybrid. Atleast two of them also need to have a powerful drive train. This alliance has it all, the arm/ramp hybrid is their ramp if the strategy calls for it. The two with the powerful drivetrains if needed can play defense while the other hangs ringers like crazy. When combined this alliance has three scoring robots, a ramp bot, and 2 defensive bots. This alliance most of all needs a strategy that is well known between them, but there will be a number of strategies to use depending on the robots they are facing. What kind of alliance can overcome them besides one with a better strategy?

I've changed my perfect alliance.

Whichever alliance can score 4+ tubes in autonomous is the one that will win.

Honestly though, I wonder how much autonomous will be a factor when the Divisional Finals and the Einstein matches happen.

[Vogel648]

Autonomous may be huge, depending on how many people try defensive autonomous modes. If a alliance can get 2+ keepers on, they will almost always beat a team that gets 0 on.

[Ericgehrken]

A single autonomous mode can be worth as much as 224 points if each member of your alliance scores and you place five more tubes to form a row of eight.

2 defensive bots cpable of 2@12
1 great scorer


thats way the 2 defensive bots will limit scoring and the scorer will provide points during the match and the end 60 should do it

3 Hangers/Ramp Hybrids
1 Swerve Drive
2 Of the best 6WDs ever
1 Canadian
1 Californian
1 Michiganian

Take a guess who I am talking about.

This alliance can change their game plan, each match and can out hang all other alliances. This is the "Best" Atlanta Alliance.

One pretty good tube scorer with a 60 point bonus capability.
One pretty good tube scorer that can get the bonus points using the mechanism from the previous robot.
One defensive bot who can handle a spoiler and get the other 30 bonus points.

I think this alliance would be awesome and would definitely have a tough time formulating a strategy to beat these 3 teams.

Something tells me that 330, 469, and 1114 will all be gone before the 2nd round, making this a little bit unlikely....
