Nats Alliances

[Bongle]

I really didn't expect whatever alliance 2056 ended up in to be a ramp-dependant alliance. I figured they'd just be scoring monsters.

If you look at their actual robot, I think it's more advanced than last year

Oh yeah, the robot is amazing. I still can't really figure out how it goes from normal->ramp mode. It's just a blur of motion, and BOOM: there's a ramp. But I guess it is probably the game as well this year: a well-picked alliance of 2 boxes-on-wheels and a ramp that quickly blocks off your scoring chances can be a big threat to a scoring-heavy alliance. Picking strategy this year is more important than last, where it was more or less all about the ball output.
