In Reply to: How did teams go about picking an alliance? posted by Mike Kulibaba on 2/27/99 8:05 PM MST:



Yes, we picked the last seeded team as our partners. Why - they complimented our robot's capabilities very well.

So how did we do? We had to go up against the Beatty alliance and unfortunately we did not give them much of a match. We had some unfortunate luck in both our matches. In the first match, our partner blew a speed controller in the opening seconds. In the second match, one of our drive wheels got entangled with a floppy, which had not happened to us before. All I can say is it is not very easy to play one on two, especially against such good teams.

If I had to do it all over again, I would not change my mind - I would still pick them. I would just hope for better luck. In conclusion, I suggest you choose you partner based on WHAT they do well, not how well they did. This will take a little more work (scouting) by the most mechanically knowledgeable folks on your team.

Raul
