Re: Pre season competition alliance
"My ideal alliance would be 2 robots that can just score like crazy, each able to fill a goal in 2 seconds. The 3rd robot would be able to just pin everyone on the other team in the corner and hold them for the whole match. Human players able to consistently score from over 1/2 court, and it would be nice if the team colors of the 3 teams matched"
You can dream cant you?
But in all honesty, you are not necessarily going to have robots at the 1st week regionals capable of all out domination, and forming an ultimate alliance.
In my experience, 1st week regionals require 2 robots that are very ahead of the curve and thats about it to win. I've seen a regional final where 1 of the robots on the winning alliance did not move for the entire match. Uniting 2 teams decently ahead of the curve, and adding a 3rd robot that can at least drive with its head on straight will win a week 1 comp.

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. - mrnoble [more]
