Next year: Kansas City, Louisiana, Hawaii, CM and hopefully IFI.

the only problem i see with that alliance is that only 1126 can get the ball down.

I'm surprised that 1731 hasn't been mentioned, but i'm not sure who i would say is the ultimate alliance yet.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

How about 330, 968, 1717 vs. 217, 1114, 71?

I hope we get to see some of the west coast teams team up in Atlanta this year.

claws vs. shooters... hmm

sounds like a match like this would definitely settle some disputes discussed earlier this season!

im not going to give any team numbers for ultimate alliance because i know nothing of the dynamics behind the team numbers. We could say that 1114, 217, and 1024 could win in Atlanta, but we also have no idea how these teams would work together. They could be completely incompatible.
(yes i do realize that 1114 and 1024 won MWR)

That would be a great alliance if none of the robots broke. That was the major drawback to this alliance. It was definitely fun while it lasted.

As for the discussion, unless the talent for a division is incredibly deep, I don't see 3 big name hurdlers getting together. I still like 2 awesome hurdlers and a lap/D bot. Having 3 hurdlers on one alliance could be very good if planned out correctly, but if the robots are fighting over balls things could get messy. I think it is best to leave 2 great hurdlers to what they do best and not mess up their rhythm. My alliance will be 1114, 217, 148 after what I have seen up to week 4.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

I'm surprised no one has mentioned team 27. From what I saw, their robot seemed on par with 1114. Powerful shooter, fast pick-up, good knock down mechanism, speedy drive train.

As for the ultimate alliance I'd have to go with a 1114 + 968 combo. There's no saying who the third pick would be, but it would need to be a fast lap-runner with a knock-down mechanism.

Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

Team 16 hasn't been mentioned since just after MWR (week #1). You can bet that they've been busy ever since, getting ready for Bayou. An alliance there with 16, 118, & a "D-bot", could dominate the elims in New Orleans even more so than the Los Angeles Regional winners.

Since I find the webcasts a bit inadequate for watching the matches, I'm going to Bayou to scout for the Championship. Well, actually I just want to get a first-hand look at Bomb Squad in action!

Hmmm. Dave, have you been sneaking looks at my FF Bayou picks? If 1902 is defense...

And dominating more than L.A. is saying something. 330+1717 NEVER scored less than 100 points, even under defense. (Heavy defense, too.) IN the elims, it was even worse--there was one match with a 90-point margin of victory after penalties on 330 and 1717's alliance and none on the other. Another match ended up 142-0 after 2 penalties on the other alliance.

1114, 330, and someone to keep other robots out of their way. 148, 980, 1024, 1717, or pretty much anyone else with a good drivetrain.
