1114-best launcher out there
1124-Strongest arm bot I have seen, and a very strong placer
148-I am convinced that the winning alliance will have a pure speed-bot, and this is the strongest I have seen yet.

Other contenders
111
71
217
1024

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

The Winning Alliance from Waterloo is my pick, but 1114 is good with anyone.. I hope that at Atlanta they are in myt divison and hopefully can pick us.. (I was Dreaming of course)..

But other good alliance could be 71 and 217 with a fast robot ( could be us)

But you could slide numerous amount of fast teams in their but....

1114 and 217 with anyone fast aginast 71 and 2171 with someone fast..I'd pay to see a best of 7-with them..

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

What people on this thread seem to be missing is the inevitable outcome of defense. At the moment people seem to be scared of it and some teams are not even playing it and just running laps. If you watch the matches with scores in the 120s and above defense is almost unseen.

The only regional i really saw any defense was Florida and from that you can see what just playing keep-away with a ball can do to shut down a good hurdler.(especially launchers)

anyways back on topic I believe that the ultimate alliance is going to be one who has 2 (or 3) good hurdlers and one that can herd (the opponents) ball and has a good drive train for pushing matches and blocking.

Wow- very cool to see my own team on someone's list. We said at the beginning of the season, "we're good at arm robots; let's build one". I guess it worked?


Here's my choice for the ultimate alliance of 2008. In no particular order:

I'd have to put team 1024 in the ultimate alliance- they didn't win three regionals for nothing. Obviously they are a strong robot and work well with other teams.

I'll also add 1114- they are also a very strong robot, with a regional win to attest to that. They have a great hybrid mode, too.

And how could the ultimate alliance of 2008 be complete without 217? They also have two regional wins this year to speak to their great robot and partnership skills. They're experienced, and consistently good.

So what does that make this alliance? The SimChickenBytes?

Can't wait for Atlanta to find out!

I think 330, 968, and a lap bot vs. 1114, 217, and a lap bot would be intense.

987 and 1717 should also be considered.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

1114,1024,217. I know I chose three hurdlers but, should someone break there are still 2 hurdles left. Also 1114's auto is the best I've seen yet, and If i remember right 1024 and 217 have kick butt auto's as well so they might set an Auto record. Also this alliance may be capable of breaking the 200 point barrier.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

As it stands right now, my ultimate alliance is 1114, 330, and 148. If 1726 can upgrade their hybrid to be more competitive with 148's, I would go with 1114, 330, and 1726 due to 1726's considerable prowess at knocking off balls (especially compared to 148's lack of any knock-off mechanism). If 1625 can chase out the mechanical gremlins, I would go with 1114, 1625, and 1726/148.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

Hmm maybe I shouldn't post my own team but whatever.

My ultimate alliance: 1114 , 1126 and 2228.

Hmmm I wonder why the first 2 teams sound sooo familiar

I see nothing wrong with 3 hurdlers. You just need to designate 2 of the robots as the "primary hurdlers". If one of those two misses picking up a ball, the third robot could pick it up and hurdle it. I think it would be perfect with three fast hurdlers, because if they thaught it would be hard to get to the ball, they could just pass it up and let the other teammate take it.
Here is my updated alliances:
1114, another great hurdler, 1024
I think 1024 could fill that 3rd hurdler position well if they had 2 other great hurdlers with them. They can knock the ball off the overpass extremely well, and can hurdle better than most, however they are not the best I have seen. Not taking anything away from their hurdler, I just think others can do better, and that the speed of the robot could fit the speedster/backup hurdler role perfectly. They are also a good group to work with. I got to work with them in a match once, and it was a great time. They definately deserved to win three regionals, great job!

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

You may get a glimpse of it in Hawaii this weekend, week 5, as many of the "top tier" teams will be competing.
Just to name a few.
254, 968, 25, 233, 337, 368 (all of whom are 2008 gold winners after week 3). If teams like 330, 103, 987 and others ever decided to come in '09 with the same group as '08, that would be scary.
Other regional finalists/winners from '07 and '08: 1138, 597, 2024, and 359 attending. There are no slouches for all of the veteran teams participating.
