2008 Ultimate Alliance

[yarb65]

Team 2122, 1662, 1388 what an alliance that would be

[jblay]

1114,39,2016

first of all the ultimate alliance definitely has to include 1114 and probably 39 and for the last bot since its fellows almost never break and 1114 covers both balls in hybrid i would have to pick the fastest team, 2016 who also gets lines in hybrid.

1114 , 330, and 597

Since the divisions are out, I will give you my ultimate alliances in each division.

Galileo: 1114, 330, 217
Newton:233, 39, 175
Archimedes: 1124, 987, 365
Curie: 67, 33, 1126

[Ripper]

I say 381, 103 , 384

I know about 2337. I love their bot, the way it boots it over. Its really impressive.

Completley impossible, but still fun:

Archi: 71, 987, 1024

Curie: 16, 67, 191

Galileo: 217, 254, 1114 - awesome during teleop, but lacking hybrid powers (talking about the non-1114 members). Maybe 40, 217, 1114.

Newton: 39, 233, 968

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.

lol... 121, 1114, plus someone...

thats my final offer on this matter lol

1124 alliance vs 1114 alliance in the finals of Einstein!

Would you really want this third hurdler to take the ball away from the power house scorers. If you are against a defensive robot a good alternative is a pure racer, such as 148.

Good call

Crazy that some people's "Ultimate Alliance" is actually happening. They very well could win Einstein too.
