Go to Post Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. - Ben Piecuch [more]

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

Personally, I'm going to see how the rest of the regionals pan out. Don't worry I'll come back to this.

Man I almost forgot about this. Well I Better get an alliance out before Eliminations.

I think that the best alliance will have 2 elite hurdlers; robots that can easily take charge of an alliance's offense. At least one will be able to cap, but ideally, both could cap a trackball.

The third robot is much harder to peg, however, an elite alliance must have a robot that is capable of playing some type of defense. This is essential, because hurdlers on opposing alliances will need to be slowed/shut down to get a W. This defensive robot could be a lap bot or another hurdler, but whatever their primary scoring method is, it must be fast, because they probably won't be using the trackballs to score a lot.

Something that I think is essential to an "ultimate" alliance is minimal penalty point deductions. While this late in the season penalties should become scarce, they aren't (although they have decreased). A team that hardly ever gets penalized will go far.
