haha, I really hope so, that would be quite epic!

I think any alliance that has 1114 and 217 paired up will have a very good chance of winning just about any match they play. 1024 would be a good third, they seem very capable of doing anything that is required of them (hurdling, lapping, racking up points in auto, etc.) Keep in mind that we still haven't seen the pink robot or the 254/968 robots yet!

As for ultimate cool robot alliance: 1501, 16, and 148. I would seriously love to see that.

Too bad it's impossible for three teams all in the top 8 to pair up

It's far too early to cast my vote for ultimate alliance yet, I think I'll need to see how the other 5 weeks of Regionals play out first. I do believe it will be a shooter, arm, and herder/racer alliance though.

Grant... your dream came true in St. Louis.

Qualification Match 62 had the red alliance looking all green, as you can see here on The Blue Alliance.

I have to admit that was my favorite match!! Extremely fun to play in. Really enjoyed working with you guys!!!!!!!!

[seraphim33]

from wat i have seen so far i think that 217...111....and...either of the martians(70 or 494) would dominate overdrive

[Racer26]

Heh, noticing any trends in the choices? I'd say 80%+ of the posts in this thread mention 1114, 217, or both.

I sent our lead mentor the video of QF4.1 (i think) from MWR, with 1114 scoring about 7 hurdles... he's been having nightmares since everywhere we compete, we compete against them... (or hopefully WITH them).

For GTR: I would think Woburn (188), ThunderChickens (217) and Simbotics (1114).

Hey, ThunderChickens are good, but I don't think they're so good they can compete in GLR and GTR at the same time!

hrmmmm

1114, 71, 233...

IDK something about the Ultimate Alliance always makes me wanna pick Beatty, and i know we have all learned before that you never bet against them. hrmmm if 1114 can capture GTR this coming weekend I'd go as far as to call them the best robot this year (even though 1024 already has 3 regional wins).

This might sound a little obvious at first but stay with me... it all depends on who gets #1 seed and who is in what division. If the two best hurdlers are in the same division (personal opinion: 1114, 217) and one of them gets the number one seed, then they will pick the other. I think you will be hard-pressed to find 2 robots that can beat this as it stands now. If one of them does not get the number one seed, then things start getting interesting, because there is going to be a face-off, now it all depends who gets the number one seed, is it a good or average bot? Or somehow did a low-scorer get up there? If the #1 seed is a less-than-ideal teammate then whoever they pick is in deep trouble, because they get the veeerry last pick, so you're going to end up with 1 phenomenal robot, and 2 less-than-phenomenal robots, and that isn't going to win the championship this year. I tend to think that the gap is wide enough from the phenomenal bots to the good bots that champs is going to be won by the #1 or #2 alliance, possibly #3, because by the time you get to #4, all of the awesome bots are gone. So this is who wins... the 2 best hurdlers in their division and the sleeper lap-bot (or possibly defense, I've now seen what defense can do at WMR). This is called the "ultimate alliance" but I think that if the two best hurdlers get together with an ok lapbot the 200-pt. barrier will be broken.
