Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
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. |

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
It's too early. Maybe around Week 3, I'll weigh in. Actually...Hold that, between the last week of regionals and the Championship.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
As of now I'd have to say 1114, 573, and 148 but that could change.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
Since 217 and 1114 are both able to scoop the ball up immediately after hurdling, a 3rd hurdler might be ineffective. I would think they would rather have a racebot like 148 as their 3rd partner.

Doing everything well is often less effective than doing one or two things exceptionally well. The RoboChickenPack alliance at St. Louis had a team with exceptional speed and agility, a team with exceptional ball-handling ability, and a team with exceptional tactical skills. They won against alliances with very good robots that individually did everything well...just not as exceptionally well. |

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
1114 1024 and 103
i wonder if 2056 is any good this year, 1114 and 2056 complemented each other to form an almost unstopable alliance (3 contests won, only 3 losses during elims, Waterloo Finals match 1, GTR semi's match 2, and IRI, i think Quarterfinals.) check back with me tomorrow, i might have a totally diffrent alliance... |

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
Just a friendly reminder...
Plugging your own team for the ultimate alliance is like saying that your report is the best in the class and should get an A just because you wrote it. Neither is necessarily true. If you haven't competed yet, you're self-grading the report before the teacher does--and if you've seen "A Christmas Story", you know what can happen with that. I'm not saying that you don't have the best robot, I'm saying that you'll need to show that it deserves a place on the Ultimate Alliance. |

1114, Team X, Team Y
Break out your lotto number drawing machines because it just doesn't matter. |

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
I would go with 1114, 16, and 148 for my week 1 alliance. Two of the best hurdlers of week 1 and one of the fastest lap bots of week 1. There still plenty of regionals left and I am sure more great bots will emerge as the weeks go on.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance
It most certainly does matter, the 2nd alliance at MWR played very close matches against the 3rd alliance, even defeating them once.
