Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?

Let me just simply say that if you saw the Midwest regional, our alliance utilized the payload specialist to the fullest. We had an alliance that, in my 9 years of elimination round experience, should not have made it out of the QF. However, we found some way to make even the mighty 111 / 1625 combo shake in their boots and had them on their heels. A money payload specialist, if incorporated into the correct strategy, can change the game in less than 3 seconds and cut the playing field down to 1/2 the size.

This strategy was witnessed by few and not discussed much, but if we would have won the regional many more would be talking about it today.

The payload specialist is the mighty equalizer in this game and any alliance has a chance this year with the right payload specialists.

More than any other year, average robots with great execution of a great strategy can neutralize a great robot with a good strategy.

What we were able to pull off at Midwest has opened my eyes to the possibilities in this year's game.
